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.
S

And they're made of PBT, which is a form of plastic.
S

It's synthetic silk.

Right.

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

You either get a tough connector that might short circuit or a safe connector that might crack.
S
13:45speaker_2HOST
Exactly.

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

Well, you might use a PFAS-free PBT.
