What Is It?
NEXXALITE™ Unfilled PBT Compound, chosen for its chemical resistance to automotive fluids.
How It's Manufactured
PBT resin is compounded with heat stabilizers on a twin-screw line for consistent, fast-cycling molding.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Oil filter housing components are injection molded to precise thread and seal dimensions, since the part must seal against oil pressure without leaking across the vehicle's full temperature range.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A component in direct, continuous contact with engine oil at operating temperature needs genuine chemical resistance to that fluid — a polymer that swells or degrades on oil contact would fail its sealing function regardless of its dry mechanical strength.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Oil filter parts" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PBT compounds for oil filter component applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
