Thermoplastics
We offer a wide range of standard and customer products in thermoplastic materials.
Many thermoplastics offer great chemical and temperature resilience. Due to their solidity, they also have ideal properties where mechanical strain is concerned. However, they exhibit low elastic behavior so in some applications elastomer materials might be a better choice.

The extremely high chemical resilience of PTFE exceeds that of any other thermoplastic material, PTFE offers a wide application range in almost any media and very wide temperature application range. It can also be used, e.g. with liquid gases. |
PA provides high solidity and is thus especially suitable for use e.g. in machine components, plain bearings or guide rails.PSA also offers high resistance to wear and good dampening properties. |
POM is one of the mechanically most resilient thermoplastic materials and offers great shape stability even at higher temperatures. POM offers good dimensional stability since it only absorbs very little water; it is very solid and hard |
PEEK is a highly resilient thermoplastic material with great solidity and temperature resilience; it is ideal for for components subject to strong mechanical strain, offers very good chemical resistance and can be used universally. |
