DuraPeek
(Polyetheretherketone) DuraPEEK is a high performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic. DuraPEEK's characteristics include high temperature performance, excellent wear properties, superior chemical resistance and outstanding toughness and strength. Currently Westlake is stocking DuraPEEK in film, rod and select sizes of sheet.
ECTFE Film
(Ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene) ECTFE provides excellent chemical resistance, good electrical properties, a broad-use temperature range from cryogenic to 300°F (150°C), and meets the requirements of UL-94 V-0 vertical flame test in thicknesses as low as 7 mils (0.18 mm). It is a tough material with excellent impact strength and wear resistance.
PES Film
(polyethersulfone) PES film possesses a combination of properties such as high resistance to heat and combustibility, low smoke emission and transparency. These coupled with light weight, high tear initiation and propagation strength, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and thermoformability make the film particularly useful in electrical, aerospace, automotive, and mass trasit industries.
PMP Film
(polymethylpentene) TPX has a remarkable and unique combination of transparency and resistance to heat and chemicals. It also has unique acoustical properties. It is used in a wide variety of applications including speaker cones, gas separating membranes, release films and carrier films for ceramic slurry.
PVDF Film
(Made from KYNARŪ Polyvinylidene Fluoride Resin) PVDF is strong and tough as reflected by its tensile properties and impact strength. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet in thin sections such as films, PVDF components are flexible and transparent.
Tempalux Film
(Made from ULTEMŪ Polyetherimide Resin) Tempalux offers high heat resistance coupled with high strength, stiffness, UV stability and broad chemical resistance. The combination of outstanding thermal, mechanical and electrical properties together with exceptional flame resistance and thermoformability, provide unprecedented performance for a wide variety of demanding new design concepts.
Thermalux Film
(Made from UDELŪ Polysulfone Resin) Thermalux is a tough, rigid, high-strength, amorphous thermoplastic that maintains its properties over a wide temperature range. It has good electrical properties, clarity and toughness, plus exceptional steam resistance and thermoformability. It is used widely in food service, electronics, medical devices, chemical process equipment and automotive industries. |
