High Performance

High performance plastics meet higher requirements than standard & engineering plastics because of their mechanical properties. higher chemical or a higher heat stability, enabling them to cover a wide range of functions in more challenging environments. Their continuous service temperature  is always higher than 150 °C

Typical applications
High performance thermoplastic for engineered applications requiring high dielectric strength, radiation resistance, chemical resistance and extreme operating temperature.

Engineering Plastics

Each and every engineering plastic usually has a unique combination of properties that make it the material of choice for a particular application. The material heat resistance, mechanical strength, rigidity, chemical stability, self lubrication and fire rating must be considered in selecting the right material.

Typical applications
Engineering plastic materials are used for bearings, bushings, wear strips and guides, gears and sprockets, cams and followers, valve seats and seals, fasteners and other machined parts.

Industrial Plastics

Industrial plastics are produced mainly from oil and natural gas by a process of polymerisation. Generally offering a high strength to density ratio, chemical resistance and mechanical properties over a broad spectrum of temperature conditions. This versatility has made them one of  the most popular plastics in use today.

Typical applications
Industrial plastic materials are generally used for chemical resistant tanks and liners, fume ducts and hoods, plating barrels, electrical housing and conduit, laboratory consoles and sinks, pump components and housings.

Industry Product Accreditations

Aerospace-approval

Aerospace Approval

Aircrafts must be very light and fuel efficient, at the same time mechanically stable and 100% safe.

We offer a wide range of materials for these demanding environments. They support light, safe, and long-lasting aircraft design with recognised approvals for flammability including:

  • BSS 7239
  • FAR25.853
  • FAR28.855
  • UL94 V0
rail-approval

Rail Approval

In areas making high demands on fire behaviour – such as transport and the electrical industry – manufacturers of plants and machinery often had to get along with an alternative to nylon so missed its outstanding mechanical properties.

Sustamid 6FR has been tested to several fire regulations including the new EU rail vehicle standard, DIN EN 45545-2:2013.

oil-and-gas-approval

Oil & Gas Approval

The petroleum industry has developed the NORSOK standard to ensure adequate safety, added value and cost effectiveness.

SustaPEEK is an ideal product for components used in demanding applications and has PASSED the Norsok M-710 criteria making it a suitable choice for sour gas environments.

medical-approval

Medical Approval

Our range of medical grade (MG) products are made from materials especially developed for medical technology.

The MG products come with analysis results demonstrating biocompatibility conforming to ISO10993-5 and USP Class VI.

Food Approval

Most of our food today is produced using industrial equipment.

We provide an extensive range of plastics for direct contact with food which depending upon the material, meet these requirements.

  • 10/2011/EC
  • 1935/2004/EC
  • 2023/2006/EC
  • FDA
ISO-90012015-approval

SO 9001:2015 Approval
