PRODUCT INFORMATION

DuPont™ Rynite® 545 BK504

THERMOPLASTIC POLYESTER RESIN
Product Information

Common features of Rynite® thermoplastic polyester include mechanical and physical properties such as excellent balance of strength and stiffness, dimensional stability, creep resistance,
heat resistance, high surface gloss and good inherent electrical properties at elevated temperature. It can be processed over a broad temperature range and has excellent flow properties.

Rynite® thermoplastic polyester resins are typically used in demanding applications in the automotive, electrical and electronics, appliances where they successfully replace metals and
thermosets, as well as other thermoplastic polymers.

Rynite® 545 BK504 is a 45% glass reinforced modified polyethylene terephthalate resin.
