TOP-PERFORMING HEAT RESISTANT PLASTICS

There are numerous types of heat resistant plastics available, each of which has unique advantages and disadvantages that make it suitable for different applications.



Some of the top-performing ones are:

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). PTFE—commonly known by the brand name Teflon™—is characterized by its low coefficient of friction and high chemical resistance. It also demonstrates excellent flexural strength, electrical resistance, weather resistance, and thermal stability.It is suitable for use

in temperatures ranging from -328° F to 500° .


PEEK (polyetheretherketone). PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with a semi-crystalline structure. It is resistant to chemicals, creep, fatigue, heat, and wear and has the highest flexural and tensile strength of any high-performance polymer. These qualities make it a suitable alternative to metals as they allow the material to remain strong and adaptable in harsh environmental conditions. It is suitable for continuous operating temperatures up to 500° .


PEI (polyetherimide). PEI—commonly only by the brand name Ultem®—is one of a handful of commercially available amorphous thermoplastics. It is strong, chemical resistant, and flame resistant and has the highest dielectric strength of any high-performance thermoplastic. It is suitable for continuous service temperatures up to 338°.


TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF HEAT RESISTANT PLASTICS:

Heat resistant plastics are available in many forms, such as heat resistant plastic sheets. These various material forms are used to manufacture parts and products for a wide range of industries.


For example:

They are used for heat and shock resistant components in the aerospace, automotive, and glass industries.

They are used for heat resistant, emission proof, highly insulating, or defined conducting components in the electrical and semiconductor industries.

They are used for sterilization and hydrolysis proof components for the medical device industry.


They are used for emission proof and radiation resistant components for the nuclear energy and X-ray technology industries.

They are used for various components in the chemical industry.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

-
Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.
