Next up in 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 at Plastim: PEEK. 🌟

Known by the Victrex® brand name, PEEK is one of the most capable engineering plastics on the market - combining high mechanical strength with excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability up to 260°C.

It’s a material trusted by demanding industries like aerospace, medical and oil & gas, where components need to perform under pressure, heat and harsh operating conditions.

Available in:
- Rods, ⌀6 - 180mm
- Sheet, 4 - 60mm thick

Need a material that keeps its strength when the heat is on? Introducing PEI. 🤝

Better known by the Ultem® brand name, this material has high mechanical strength, rigidity and flame retardancy, with a working temperature up to 170°C.

That’s why it’s widely used in industries like electronics, medical and aerospace, where stability, reliability and heat performance are all critical.

Another seriously capable material in our growing High-Performance Range. 👌

Our NEW Double Annealing ovens are now up and running. 🔥

Pictured here is a batch of 100mm thick Glass-Filled Nylon going through the process, where a secondary heating cycle allows the polymer to relax further and reduce internal stresses before machining.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?
Because it helps improve dimensional stability, reduce creep, and achieve tighter machining tolerances on demanding components.

Very exciting times here at Plastim as we take another step forward in how we process high-performance plastics.

If heat, friction or aggressive chemicals are causing problems, we'd suggest PTFE!

Known for its extreme non-stick properties, ultra-low friction and outstanding temperature resistance, PTFE performs from -200°C to +260°C without breaking a sweat. 😮‍💨

That’s why it’s such a popular choice for seals, medical components and chemical processing equipment, where contamination or component failure simply aren’t an option.

A staple in our High-Performance range, trusted in some seriously demanding environments!

Welcome to the start of 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 at Plastim. 👏

Performance matters to us, so naturally, our High-Performance Range keeps expanding. First up: PVDF.

Suitable for demanding environments, PVDF combines excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance and creep resistance with a working temperature range of -40°C to +140°C.

It also has:
✔️ Excellent chemical resistance
✔️ Good UV resistance
✔️ Strong electrical properties
✔️ Self-extinguishing behaviour

That’s why it’s a popular choice in industries like chemical processing and semiconductors! 𝙉𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.

Whizzing our way through this wear plate!

As this project is for a customer in the rail industry, we machined it from Nylon 12 - a specialist grade known for its better dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption compared to standard Nylon grades.

That means more consistent performance and less risk of the material changing over time in its demanding environment. 👍

05/06/2026

We’re thrilled to share, on nonetheless, that Plastim is officially ISO 14001 certified. ♻️

This accreditation recognises our ability to operate an effective Environmental Management System and manage our resources responsibly - from people and processes to infrastructure and facilities - to ensure the best possible environmental performance.

It’s an achievement we’re incredibly proud of and another important addition to our growing list of certifications.

The start of something big… 🚀

We’re excited to share that Torlon® 4203 (rod) has joined our growing range of High-Performance plastics!

Known for its exceptional wear resistance, dimensional stability and chemical resistance, Torlon® PAI is built for demanding environments and can operate at temperatures up to 260°C. It’s a material often chosen as a lightweight alternative to metal in industries like aerospace and automotive.

AVAILABLE NOW from stock in rod sizes from 6.35mm to 63.50mm, with additional sizes available on request. Drop us a call 📞 01452 857733
