Sales Specifications of Polybutylene Naphthalate (PBN) (CAS 28779-82-0 / 30424-90-9)
IVL’s polybutylene naphthalate (PBN) is a specialty polyester polymer derived from 1,4-butanediol plus either NDC or PNDA. It is structurally similar to polybutylene
terephthalate (PBT), but with improved thermal, barrier (both diffusional and UV penetration), mechanical, and weathering properties. Its fabricated products include
rigid packaging, thermoforms, and engineering resins.
PBN pellets are available in bulk 4-panel baffle polypropylene fabric bags containing 1000 kilograms. The bag dimensions are 38" x 38" x 45" (height) and has 4 corner lift
loops. The bag also has a fabric top fill spout, 14" diameter x 19" long, and a fabric outlet spout with a star closure, 14" diameter x 19" long.
For an additional charge, PBN pellets are also available in fiber drums containing 100 kilograms. Drum dimensions are 22" diameter x 35" tall. Four drums may be
shipped on a pallet with shrink-wrapping. A description of pallet loads is given in Table 2.
