Engineering Materials
Our range of amorphous or semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics are generally suitable for applications up to 120°C. Engineering plastics tend to be of medium cost, with moderate temperature resistance, mid-range strength, and exhibit good impact and chemical resistance. Our selection encompasses cast and extruded Nylons PA6 and PA66, Acetal POM, PBT, PET and Polycarbonates. Additionally, modified grades of all materials are available.
Cast Nylon PA6C
Compared to extruded PA6E, cast nylon has better physical properties such as higher tensile strength, maximum stiffness and hardness, better wear resistance, lower moisture absorption and better dimensional stability. It particularly suits the production of large parts and thick wall sections.
Cast Nylon PA6C Oil Filled
NYLON OIL is a lubricant modified cast PA6C which is particularly suitable for applications involving dry running. The uniform distribution of lubricant over the whole cross-section achieved with NYLON OIL guarantees a constant sliding and wear behaviour throughout the whole service life.
Cast Nylon PA6C MoS2 filled
Similar to standard PA6C but with added solid lubricant Molybdenum Disulfide. Good UV resistance and improved sliding properties. High surface hardness, high strength, good damping properties. Tough material providing high abrasion resistance. Machines well.
Extruded Nylon PA6E
PA6E extruded nylon provides good damping capacity, good impact strength and a high degree of toughness even at low temperatures. Good wear resistance, especially against rough surfaces finishes. Good overall resistance to chemicals.
Extruded Nylon PA66E
PA66E has good rigidity, hardness, abrasion resistance and thermal dimensional stability. It has better machinability than PA6E and is particularly suitable for parts which are subjected to high mechanical and thermal loads.
Acetal POM C & H
Low moisture uptake, good fatigue strength and rigidity, easily machined. Good dimensional stability for precision parts with tight tolerances. Good sliding characteristics. Retains impact strength even at low temperatures.
Acetal PE Blend (POM-C + 10PE)
All the characteristics of Acetal POM-C but with added polyethylene (PE) as a solid lubricant for improved sliding properties and abrasion resistance. This material has low water absorption and high dimensional stability.
PET
Good wear properties in moist or dry surroundings, high dimensional stability due to low thermal expansion, low moisture uptake, good dielectric properties, good chemical resistance.
PET TF (PET + PTFE)
Similar to standard PET but with a lower coefficient of friction. Enhanced sliding and abrasion resistant properties. Low moisture absorption with excellent chemical resistance.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonates are transparent and have exceptional high impact properties over a wide temperature range. Can be hot or cold formed and is virtually unbreakable. Great for machine guarding applications.
PBT GF30
30% glass fibre reinforced polyester offers very high rigidity, high mechanical and creep strength. Ideal material for complicated parts requiring very high dimensional stability.
