High performance plastics are valued for their excellent properties, and used in many demanding applications. High performance plastics such as PEEK, PEI, PSU, FEP and PTFE are characterised by their extraordinary properties in various areas. High performance plastics are primarily used where high demands are placed on the mechanics, the chemical or thermal resistance or on the slippage of the products. PEEK, especially, is an excellent metal substitute for medical applications where the biocompatibility of the material is important. Another example of the high demands on the plastic is the multiple sterilisation cycle with hot steam which are usually only possible with metal-based materials. Even the extremely high pressure requirements for thin-walled extrusions can only be achieved by using high performance plastics.

Type | Polyethylene Terephthalate Sheets |
Polyester finds wide range of uses in food processing, electrical engineering, high precision parts and heavily loaded parts wear applications due to low moisture absorption, high wear & creep resistance and good mechanical strength. There are two types of Polyester products available. PBT possesses higher strength & elongation whereas PET has lower load bearing capacity.
Characteristics:
· Very good dimensional stability due to extremely low moisture absorption
· Higher wear resistance
· Very good mechanical strength
· Higher stiffness and hardness
· Very good creep resistance
· Lower coefficient of friction
· Food Grade
· UV resistance & good acid resistance
Industries:
Material handling, electronics, medical equipment, textile equipment, bottling, automotive, food processing.
Applications:
Guides, bushes, gears, rollers, wear liners, pulleys, valve seats
Design Considerations:
· Not recommended for autoclave (prolong exposure to water above 60OC which reduces properties)
· Chemically attacked by strong acids & strong bases at elevated temperatures, phenol, acetone, bromine, fluorine, chloroform, hydrogen fluoride and methyl fluoride.
· Not recommended for alkaline media.
GRADES:
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET): PET is an ideal material offering best of both nylon and acetal. This material offers higher compressive strength and creep resistance coupled with better dimensional stability compared to acetal and better wear properties compared to nylon. Hence it is ideally suited for heavily loaded precision parts subject to wear.
PET LF: This solid lubricant grade is developed to reduce friction & improve the wear properties. This also exhibits superior stick slip characteristics.
POLYBUTYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PBT): This finds wide range of application in mechanical, electrical, medical equipment because of its excellent chemical resistance, dielectric strength, physiologically safety & dimensional stability. This cable is used for bushes and precision wear liners.

Type | Polysulfone Rods |
Polysulfone is a semi-transparent amorphous thermoplastic with an amber tint that retains its properties between −100 °C and 150 °C. Polysulfone is outstanding where long term service in hot water environments and repeated steam sterilization is needed. High rigidity and tensile impact encourage the use of polysulfone in demanding applications as compared to polycarbonate. The combined chemical and steam resistance makes it a good material for food-service applications. In addition, the material has excellent radiation stability and is available in USP Class VI-rated resins, which make it an ideal material for the medical and pharmaceutical processing industries.
Characteristics:
· Continuous use temperature 160OC (PSU) & 180OC (PES,PPSU)
· Consistent electrical properties
· Good impact resistance to 100OC
· Heat distortion temperature 175OC (PSU), 200OC (PES, PPSU)
· Low moisture absorption
· Excellent radiation resistance
· Chemically resistant to acid and salt solutions, detergents, most alcohols, inorganic bases, aliphatic hydrocarbons
· Exceptional hydrolytic stability, 99 % tensile strength retention after 10 day immersion in boiling water (PPSU)
Industries:
Medical equipment, food processing, petroleum, electrical, semiconductor
Applications:
Centrifuge and blood meter components, trays, membranes, handles, scraper blades, filler heads, fluid containers and microwave cookware, petroleum down hole components, sensor housings, electrical/electronic coil bobbins, connectors, circuit boards, chip carriers, relays,
switches, pin grid arrays and terminal blocks
Design Considerations:
· Not inherently UV stable
