PLASTICS
Engineering plastic type CF
- PA66/CF30 polyamide 66 reinforced with 30 wt% carbon fibre
- heat stabilized
- very high rigidity, excellent tensile and flexural strength, fatigue and creep resistance
- low friction, self lubricating properties, excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- Good heat capability
- good chemical resistance (oils, grease, fuels, non polar solvents); not resistant to strong acids, alkalis and hot water or steam
- ESD safe material, (avoids dust attraction, sparks generation, ignition sources)
- very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion
- typical applications include handling of sensitive components and devices (electronic components, micromechanical parts, glass and ceramic substrates, capillary, etc.)
High-performance plastic type CP
- PEEK/CF30 polyetheretherketone reinforced with 30 wt% carbon fibre
- very hard, rigid, high tensile and flexural strength, very high wear resistance
- high heat capability (260-300°C), good dimension stability, low thermal linear expansion coefficient
- excellent resistance to chemicals, aggressive agents and to thermal ageing
- ESD material, low surface resistivity (105 Ohm)
- typical applications include handling of components in cleaning/chemical/assembly processes also at high temperatures (soldering)
Engineering plastic type DG/DL
- POM/GF30 acetal resin reinforced with 30 wt% glass fibre
- good tensile and flexural strength, fatigue and creep resistance
- low friction, good wear and abrasion resistance
- low moisture absorption
- good chemical resistance (oils, grease, fuels, organic solvents); not resistant to strong acids, alkalis and oxidizing agents; good hydrolytic resistance (hot water)
- insulating
- typical applications include handling of very scratch sensitive components
High performance plastic type SV
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride carbon fibre reinforced
- excellent mechanical strength and toughness
- smooth surface
- heat stabilized, high heat capability, continuous use temperature up to 150°C
- high purity (clean room and medical devices approved, low extraction value)
- excellent chemical resistance to most aggressive substances (mineral and organic acids) and solvents (hydrocarbons, alcohols, halogenated), resistant to halogens
- outstanding resistance to hydrofluoric acid (40% conc., 90°C), nitric acid (50% conc., 90°C), hydrochloric acid (36% conc., 90°C)
- high abrasion resistant
- resistant to UV and nuclear radiation (sterilisation)
- ESD safe (avoids dust attraction, sparks generation, ignition sources)
- typical applications include handling of very scratch- and contamination-sensitive components, cleaning and etching processes
