High-performance plastics are renowned for their superior properties, making them ideal for demanding applications. Among the range of high-performance plastics we offer, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) stand out for their exceptional performance characteristics.
These grades of material are often chosen for applications requiring:
- High Strength
- Good Chemical resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Performance at high temperatures
- High quality electrical resistance
PEEK
PEEK is an engineering thermoplastic, notable for having the highest tensile strength among plastics. This material maintains its integrity and properties even when continuously exposed to temperatures as high as 480°F (250°C). Its low moisture absorption, outstanding chemical resistance, and high mechanical properties make it a versatile choice in various industries. PEEK's excellent machinability and wear resistance are particularly beneficial in aerospace, medical, food, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and wire and cable production.
