I'm like, this is cool, but it doesn't look – why does my lash extensions look different? So then I started studying what lash extensions were made of.

And they're made of PBT, which is a form of plastic.
Sahara LottiGUEST
3:56
It's synthetic silk.

So then I was like, wait a minute.

Right.

Now, PBT polybutylene terephthalate has great dimensional stability and very low moisture absorption, making it highly resistant to dendrite growth.
speaker_1HOST
13:34
Okay, so just use PBT.
speaker_2HOST
13:36
Well, standard PBT hasn't traditionally matched the mechanical toughness of polyamides.
speaker_1HOST
13:40
Ah, I see.

You either get a tough connector that might short circuit or a safe connector that might crack.
speaker_2HOST
13:45
Exactly.
speaker_2HOST
13:46
But Invalier engineered a solution that eliminates the compromise entirely.
speaker_1HOST
9:47
Yeah.

And on one side, they used a low tracking resistance material like liquid crystal polymer or LCP or just a standard PBT.
speaker_1HOST
9:56
On the other side, they used one of their high CTI rated materials.
speaker_2HOST
9:59
And the difference is stark.

Like
speaker_1HOST
16:35
what?
speaker_2HOST
16:36
Well, you might use a PFAS-free PBT.
speaker_2HOST
16:39
Or a PA66 grade.
