Semi-crystalline thermoplastic

Properties

• excellent dimensional stability
• hardly inflammable and self-extinguishing
• extremely low smoke density
• very high resistance to high-energy radiation
• outstanding sliding properties
• excellent abrasion resistance
• high wear resistance
• optimised balance of stiffness, tensile strength and impact strength
• low creep tendency
• high dimensional stability under heat
• extremely high continuous service temperature
• low coefficient of linear thermal expansion

Field of application
