As modern vehicles grow more compact and complex, actuator housings must deliver high performance under extreme thermal and environmental stress. Pocan® PBT compounds - particularly the hydrolysis-resistant (HR) and laser-transparent (LT) grades - offer a reliable and versatile material solution for these demanding conditions.
With excellent dimensional stability, low warpage, and outstanding resistance to heat and moisture, Pocan® materials are ideal for compact mechatronic components. Grades like Pocan® B3233HR and B3233HRLT are already proven in critical applications such as swirl control and automatic parking brake actuators, where precision, durability, and long service life are essential.
The demands placed on modern actuator housings are greater than ever. These components must maintain their mechanical performance even in extreme temperatures, high humidity, and complex environments under the hood. This is where the Pocan® HR and LT product lines truly shine. With outstanding hydrolysis resistance, Pocan® B3233HR ensures long-term stability even under the harsh conditions of the engine compartment. It resists degradation caused by heat and moisture, preserving key mechanical properties like impact strength and stiffness throughout the entire service life of the component.
Meanwhile, Pocan® B3233HRLT opens up new possibilities for design and manufacturing. Developed specifically for laser transmission welding, this material maintains high transparency in the laser wavelength range - even in black-colored variants. The result is precise, efficient welding of complex housing structures, ensuring strong and leak-proof joins in critical actuator systems. Used successfully in swirl control actuators, these materials help optimize airflow and combustion efficiency in internal combustion engines. And with low warpage, high dimensional stability, and excellent processability, they not only meet today’s engineering standards - they’re setting new ones.
