High Performance Materials
Our premium range of high performance amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastics and imidised materials are capable of long-term thermal stability up to 260°C. Some to 300°C with short term bursts up to 400°C. Our selection includes PTFE, PEEK, PVDF, PSU, PPSU, PEI, PPS, PBI, PAI, and PI materials from leading international manufacturers. These materials generally offer the highest strength and stiffness, plus water, steam and chemical resistance. All materials are available in a range of modified grades.
PI
TECASINT PI is a non-melting & fire-resistant polymer offering excellent retention of mechanical & physical properties at temperatures up to 300°C. Widely used in the glass industry.
TORLON PAI
TORLON PAI is widely used to replace metal parts where lighter, weight saving parts are required. Up to 270°C continuous. Outstanding loading capacity, rigidity and strength.
PEEK
Excellent sliding properties, very good mechanical properties, even under thermal load and has excellent resistance to chemicals. Universally useable design material for highly stressed parts.
PTFE (Teflon®)
PTFE Teflon® has a continuous service temperature of 260°C. Amazing sliding characteristics, as well as excellent electrical properties. Flame retardant. Fillers available such as glass, carbon, bronze to improve properties.
PPS
TECATRON PPS offers exceptional chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties & dimensional stability over a range of temperatures. Flame retardant. Very chemically resistant material at high temperatures.
PPSU
TECASON P PPSU has higher impact strength, better chemical resistance than TECASON S PSU. Low moisture absorption. Suitable for super hot sterilisation. Used widely in the medical industry.
PEI
TECAPEI PEI offers high heat resistance, mechanical strength & rigidity. Extremely strong and stiff. Can withstand repeated sterilization. Amber in colour & widely used in the medical & chemical industries.
PSU
TECASON S PSU is a high temperature thermoplastic known for high mechanical strength & dimensional stability at high operating temperatures. Good resistance to hydrolysis.
PVDF
TECAFLON PVDF (polyvinylidene) is a stable fluoropolymer used in applications requiring high purity with outstanding resistance to chemicals & higher mechanical strength.
