The materials performance pyramid ranks the most common thermoplastics according to their temperature performance. Amongst these materials, different "families" can be recognized, all exhibiting high value in use within numerous applications:
DURATRON® PBI (CELAZOLE® PBI) and DURATRON® PAI (TORLON® PAI) for top performance ! Characterized by an extreme temperature resistance (up to 310°C continuously for DURATRON PBI), these materials perform where others would fail. DURATRON® PBI (CELAZOLE® PBI) and DURATRON® PAI (TORLON® PAI) are suitable for both structural and friction & wear applications.
SEMITRON® ESd 520HR is a static dissipative polyamidimide grade.
Semi-crystalline AEP like KETRON® PEEK, TECHTRON® HPV PPS, FLUOROSINT® and SYMALIT® PVDF typically offer a combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties, also at elevated temperatures. These materials can be used for both structural and friction & wear applications.
SEMITRON® ESd 225 is a static dissipative acetal grade, SEMITRON® ESd 500HR is a static dissipative reinforced PTFE grade.
Amorphous AEP like QUADRANT® PPSU (RADEL® PPSU), DURATRON® PEI (ULTEM® PEI) and QUADRANT PSU exhibit an outstanding retention of their mechanical properties up to the glass transition temperature and excellent electrical properties. Additionally, their food contact compliant composition and resistance to hot water or steam offer great possibilities for structural parts in medical, pharmaceutical and dairy industries.
SEMITRON® ESd 410C is a static dissipative polyetherimide grade.
