Does anyone have any experience with Polybutylene Succinate?

It has done well in my standard testing for our products. Are there any special concerns that I should look for with it?

TIA

It will probably spontaneously burst into flames in a pure fluorine atmosphere at standard pressure and temperature.

But so will a lot of other things.

You do realize the stuff is biodegradable, which limits its storage and use life?

We are using it because it is biodegradable. The data sheets say that it is stable at the temperatures we need. We have done testing at higher temperatures without issue.

Will it biodegrade in storage without being buried underground?
