Advance Engineering Plastic

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a high molecular weight polymer. ANULON-178 has greater strength, wear resistance and creep resistance than PTFE and some other fluropolymers. It has excellent resistant properties against most chemicals and solvents, including oxidizers, such as, liquid bromine and bromine salt solutions. It is weather-resistant and does not support combustion in air. It has a high dielectric constant and a high loss factor relative to other fluoroplastics. The service temperatures extend from -40°C to 150°C depending on specific requirements.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with excellent slip properties and very good mechanical properties, even under thermal stress, in combination with excellent resistance to chemicals. The high continuous working temperature rounds off the profile of this high-performance plastic and makes it virtually the appropriate material for highly stressed parts.

Main Characteristics

Low coefficient to friction.

High wear resistance.

Chemical resistance.

Insoluble in common solvent, acid, alkali.

Excellent strength.

Excellent stiffness

Dimensional stability.

High temperature resistance.

Polysulphone

These unreinforced amorphous thermoplastic materials have a lot of features in common and offer a combination of excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.

Main Characteristics

High service temperature in air from 150°C to 180°C

High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

Excellent hydrolysis resistance (suitable for repeated steam sterilization).

High toughness at low temperatures.

Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact).

Very good dimensional stability.

Very good resistance to high energy radiation (gammy and x-rays)

Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties.

Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS)

The reinforced and internally lubricated polyphenylene sulphide grade offers an excellent combination of properties, including wear resistance, load-bearing capability and dimensional stability, when exposed to chemicals and high temperature. PPS finds its applications where PA POM, PET, PEI and PAI are over-engineered and a more economical solution is preferred.

Thanks to the uniformly dispersed internal lubricant, PPS exhibits excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It overcomes the disadvantages of virgin PPS, caused by a high coefficient of friction, and of glass fibre reinforced PPS which can cause premature wear of the counter-face in moving-part applications. These features, in combination with its excellent chemical resistance, offer numerous application possibilities in all types of industries.

Main Characteristics

Very high service temperature in air (220°C continuously to 260°C for short periods.

High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance at elevated temperatures.

Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance.

Excellent wear and frictional stability.

Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gammy and x-rays).

Good UV resistance.

Inherent low flammability

Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties.

Polyamide-imide (PAI)

Polyamide-imide (PAI) grades combine excellent retention of mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide temperature range up to 250°C with extremely low thermal expansion and most suited for high temperature applications.

Main Characteristics

Very high service temperature in air (250°C)

Excellent retention of mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures

Extremely low coefficient of linear thermal expansion up to 250°C.

Excellent wear and frictional behavior
