Overview
Complex polymer components can be injection moulded based on customer drawings or designed in-house by our team to match the requirements of the end-application.
Poly Fluoro offers a fully integrated moulding set-up from part design and mould construction, to product development and bulk production.
We offer a range of grades, all of which can be customised with fillers and additives to enhance the component’s end-properties. Working with OEMs around the world, we offer high-precision injection moulded parts where the volumes and/or part construction will not suit a machining solution.
Material selection is essential in getting the correct solution for a given application. Poly Fluoro Ltd understands the strengths and limitations of each material and accordingly works with the end-users to narrow in on the most effective option.
| Material Name | Main Properties | Notes/Applications | Temperature Range |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Virgin PEEK |
Excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures High tensile strength and dimensional stability |
FDA approved Most effective as a seal, backup ring, V-packing or Chevron seal Used as rotary seals in Nuclear applications |
-40°C to 260°C |
|
Carbon filled PEEK |
Many similar properties to Virgin PEEK. Particularly suitable for elevated temperatures and high load situations. |
Low coefficient of friction and suitable for many extremely corrosive applications |
-40°C to 260°C |
|
Acetal or Delrin |
Displays good resistance to wear and deformation under load Easy to machine; dimensionally very stable |
Excellent for valve seat applications Excellent for ferrules, probes and sensors |
up to 80°C |
|
PPS or Ryton |
Excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures High tensile strength and dimensional stability |
Used extensively in pulp and paper manufacturing as it resists chemicals specific to this industry Cost effective alternative to PEEK |
-40°C to 220°C |
|
PVDF or Kynar |
Excellent chemical resistance High tensile strength and dimensional stability Resistant to creep |
Used in chemical industries for linings, fittings, and sleeves Excellent in semi-conductor components |
-40°C to 220°C |
|
PA or Nylon |
Displays good resistance to wear and offers thermal and electrical insulation in moderate conditions Easy to machine; dimensionally very stable. Inexpensive |
Excellent as bobbins, sliding elements, and insulating sheaths PA6, PA66, and PA12 variants - can be filled with glass or PTFE for enhanced properties |
up to 80°C |
|
PFA |
Superior chemical resistance Self-extinguishing. Retains room temperature stiffness and strength at elevated temperatures Extreme toughness |
Heater cables Chemically resistant linings for pumps and pipes etc. that require a higher temperature resistance. |
