What Is It?
NEXXALITE™ Unfilled PBT Compound, chosen for its excellent electrical properties and low moisture absorption around sensitive sensor electronics.
How It's Manufactured
PBT resin is compounded with heat stabilizers on a twin-screw line for consistent electrical and dimensional performance.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Sensor housings are injection molded to precise internal dimensions that must protect and correctly position an internal sensing element, whether that is a simple switch or a more complex electronic sensor.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A sensor housing that absorbs moisture or shifts dimensionally can directly corrupt the sensor's readings by misaligning it or allowing moisture ingress to the electronics — PBT's low moisture absorption and dimensional stability address exactly this failure mode.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Sensors" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications alongside connectors and handles.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PBT compounds for sensor housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
