Known by the Victrexยฎ 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 260ยฐC.

Itโ€™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, โŒ€6 - 180mm
- Sheet, 4 - 60mm thick

Need a material that keeps its strength when the heat is on? Introducing PEI. ๐Ÿค

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

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Our NEW Double Annealing ovens are now up and running. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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.

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 -200ยฐC to +260ยฐC without breaking a sweat. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s such a popular choice for seals, medical components and chemical processing equipment, where contamination or component failure simply arenโ€™t an option.

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

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 -40ยฐC to +140ยฐC.

It also has:
โœ”๏ธ Excellent chemical resistance
โœ”๏ธ Good UV resistance
โœ”๏ธ Strong electrical properties
โœ”๏ธ Self-extinguishing behaviour

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s a popular choice in industries like chemical processing and semiconductors! ๐™‰๐™š๐™ญ๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™™๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฎ ๐™–๐™ซ๐™–๐™ž๐™ก๐™–๐™—๐™ก๐™š.

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. ๐Ÿ‘
