HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASTICS

PPS (poly­phe­nyl­sul­p­ho­ne) is a semi-crystal­li­ne and high tem­pe­ra­tu­re ther­mo­plastic material.
Very good mecha­ni­cal strength, also in tem­pe­ra­tu­re are­as of more than 200°C, a low water absorp­ti­on, a good dimen­si­on sta­bi­li­ty, an excel­lent che­mi­cal resis­tance, excel­lent electri­cal pro­per­ties and fla­me-retar­dant are the main cha­rac­te­ris­tics. PPS is used whe­re PA, POM, PBT are no lon­ger sufficient.

Typi­cal characteristics:

• high mecha­ni­cal strength, rigi­di­ty and hardness
• very high maxi­mum ser­vice tem­pe­ra­tu­re in air (220°C per­ma­nent up to 260°C short-time)
• excel­lent wear resis­tance, also by high temperatures
• low coef­fi­ci­en­cy of friction
• good creep strength
• excel­lent che­mi­cal and hydro­ly­sis resistance
• excel­lent dimen­si­on stability
• inherent fla­me-retar­dant (fla­me resistant UL94-V0 without fla­me retardants)

App­li­ca­ti­on area: 

• appa­ra­tus and plant engi­nee­ring: parts in che­mi­cal pro­cess faci­li­ties, parts for dry­ing ovens and food pre­pa­ra­ti­on ovens
• mecha­ni­cal engi­nee­ring: pump cases
• electri­cal indus­try: insu­la­ti­on parts for high temperatures
• auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try: shaft seals, reflec­tors for front lights
• food indus­try

Liquid crys­tal poly­mers bene­fits from the fla­me-retar­dant, dimen­si­on sta­bi­li­ty (also by high tem­pe­ra­tures), che­mi­cal resis­tance, a low ther­mal expan­si­on and good mecha­ni­cal pro­per­ties. A good wea­ther sta­bi­li­ty and a resis­tance against gam­ma rays and high fre­quen­cy com­ple­te the profile.

An excel­lent melt flowa­bi­li­ty allo­wed the making of filigree mol­ding parts with small wall thic­kness and / or high flow lengths and short cycle times.

This poly­mer offers the fol­lowing cha­rac­te­ris­tics, which can­not be found by engi­nee­ring plastics:

• extra­or­di­na­ry dimen­si­on stability
• very high che­mi­cal resistance
• very high ther­mal stability
• high rigi­di­ty, also by small wall thic­kness parts
• low line­ar coef­fi­ci­ent of ther­mal expansion
• inherent fla­me-retar­dant (fla­me resistant without fla­me retardants)

App­li­ca­ti­on area:

• E&E: plug con­nec­tors, elec­tro­me­cha­ni­cal com­pon­ents, sen­sors, MID (moul­ded inter­con­nect devices)
• Auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try: glow plug con­nec­tor, chip card rea­der, pho­to­sen­sor, clut­ches for light gui­des, bea­rings, seals
• Appa­ra­tus tech­no­lo­gy: func­tio­n­al ele­ments for pumps, mea­su­ring instru­ments, micro parts for use in an aggres­si­ve environment
• Medi­cal tech­no­lo­gy: repla­ce­ment for non-cor­ro­si­ve steel

PEEK (poly­e­ther ether keto­ne) are semi-crystal­li­ne poly­mers which dif­fers clear­ly from other poly­mers regar­ding the tem­pe­ra­tu­re and media resistance.
Good mecha­ni­cal pro­per­ties, high sli­ding pro­per­ties, a gre­at insu­la­ti­on capa­ci­ty to electric cur­rent are other characteristics.

Fur­ther­mo­re PEEK is resis­tance against X‑ray and gam­ma rays and clas­si­fied as flame-retardant.

Typi­cal characteristics:

• High mecha­ni­cal strength, rigi­di­ty and creep strength, also by high temperatures
• very high maxi­mum ser­vice tem­pe­ra­tu­re in air (250°C per­ma­nent up to 310°C short-time)
• excel­lent che­mi­cal resistance
• excel­lent resis­tance to hydrolysis
• very high dimen­si­on stability
• good UV resistance
• low smo­ke emis­si­on and inherent fla­me-retar­dant (fla­me resistant without fla­me retardants)
• excel­lent resis­tance against high ener­gy radia­ti­on (gam­ma and X‑rays)
• excel­lent wear resis­tance and good gli­ding properties
