Polyvinylidenefluoride

PVDF’s (Polyvinylidenefluoride) balance between thermo, chemical and physical properties allows for its use as a high performing plastic for a variety of applications. Exhibiting a broad operation temperature (-30°C to +150°C), excellent chemical resistance and high strength, PVDF is highly resistant to most environments.

Properties

  • High radiation resistance
  • High tensile & mechanical strength
  • Exceptional chemical resistance
  • High rigidity (even at low temperature)
  • Self extinguishing
  • Extremely low water absorption
  • Good friction & wear values

Applications

  • Slide tracks
  • Gaskets
  • Rotary discs
  • Valve components
  • Centrifuge components

Polyetherimide

  • Impellers
  • Pumps & fan components

Polyphenylensulfone

PPSU (Polyphenylensulfone) is an amorphous material, with improved impact and hydrolysis resistance compared to PSU. It has extremely high notched impact strength, even after a heat aging.

Properties

  • High strength & rigidity
  • Exceptional impact strength (even at low temperature)
  • High chemical & radiation resistance
  • Very good dimensional stability

Applications

  • As for PSU but with increased chemical resistance
