High-Performance Plastics

High-performance plastics replace metal and ceramic in parts that run continuously above 150 °C, face aggressive chemicals or carry high mechanical loads. In this group we supply PPS, PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PVDF, PAI and LCP. Their prices are several times those of engineering plastics, so the choice must follow the real temperature and environment of the part. Our technical team listens to your application and says so when a more economical family is sufficient; when it is not, we send the right reinforced grade and the supplier data sheet with the quotation.
