High Performance Plastics
The most notable feature that separates High Performance Plastics from all other plastic varieties is its thermal properties. In general, High Performance Plastics provide a continuous service temperature in the range of 302° F (150° C) or above. Beneficial qualities of High Performance Plastics:
Extreme temperature resistance and performance
High strength
Good chemical resistance
High electrical resistance
Low coefficient of friction
Extended part life
Lightweight compared to metals
Lot and batch traceable
Filled versions enhance specific characteristics
Reduced maintenance and downtime
