Advanced material properties
Don’t think it’s possible? Our comprehensive portfolio of advanced engineering plastics covers a wide spectrum of materials with superior performance properties – from long-lasting wear resistance, to chemical compatibility, to dimensional stability.
Speak with one of our material experts to see how our advanced engineering materials can perform to your most ambitious specifications.
Wear resistance
Our wear-resistant plastics outperform metals in load-bearing and friction applications. Furthermore, they resolve many common engineering issues, such as inhibiting mechanical wear and damage, preventing contamination, reducing noise, and extending the mean time between repair.
Characterized by a low coefficient of friction, high limiting pressure velocity, and low wear rates, our portfolio of wear-resistant thermoplastic materials offer longer-lasting, predictable performance in a wide range of conditions
Dimensional stability
Even when exposed to high temperatures, moisture, and mechanical stress, our range of dimensionally stable thermoplastics retain their shape, exhibiting consistent performance and delivering cost savings over metal components.
With a low linear of thermal expansion, low moisture absorption, and high resistance to creep, plastic materials with exceptional dimensional stability can perform on the level of metals. They are also ideal for applications involving complex shapes, tight tolerances, and temperature fluctuations – especially where metal is too heavy or too costly to machine and assemble.
Chemical resistance
Our range of chemical-resistant plastics can withstand even the most aggressive environmental conditions or sterilization processes, retaining their mechanical properties without added surface protection.
From acids to alkalis, from solvents to salt water, our comprehensive portfolio of advanced plastics covers an extensive range of chemical compatibility needs.
High-temperature resistance
For continuous operation at elevated service temperatures, our extensive range of high heat thermoplastic materials exhibit superior short- and long-term thermal stability, thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and resistance to radiation.
Our comprehensive portfolio consists of thermoplastics that retain their exceptional mechanical properties at operating temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 220°C, ensuring enduring performance even at extreme temperatures.
Weight reduction
All the performance at a fraction of the weight, thermoplastics and composites offer compelling productivity gains and cost savings compared with metals and open new doors for design freedom.
Our advanced engineering materials exhibit low density and cover a broad range of injection and machining capabilities, making it possible to engineer lighter, faster, better performing parts and components.
