Available tailor-made products.

Mainly used in high technology areas, high performance plastics are made to resist extreme environments. Easy to transform, most of them have excellent antibacterial and/or thermal properties. They are used for mechanical and precision parts as well as for electric, electronic and medical components. In addition to materials in-use, they can be reinforced with different additives in order to have higher degrees of resistance to chemicals, wear, radiations and overloads.

PES (Polyethersulfone)

PES is used for medical device components and in applications which require hot water cleansing. It is widely used in electronis as well as in the automotive, optics, aviation and aerospace industries. It is also used in the food, dairy and military industries.

Colourless and easy to sterilize, PES has a low thermal expansion and excellent dimensional stability in high temperature applications. Even if subject to very high (+ 200°C) or very low temperatures, PES will retain its physical properties. It has good creep and shock resistance (up to 150°C)  but it is not recommended for applications with extreme abrasion. Known for being fire-resistant, it also has a favourable resistance to chemicals and radiation including; X-rays, beta and gamma rays.

PES conforms to the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) regulations due to its low levels smoke emission. It is resistant to hydrolysis with extended pH values. It is also resistant to electroplating or vacuum processes. The ionic metal film coating deposit provides excellent adherence properties.

PES is available in standard and customized dimensions.
