Polymers, thermoplastic and other materials

Polymers, termoplastic and other materials

In current times, new technology always poses new requirements for the materials to be used. Whilst high-performance polymers still were a speciality a few years ago, they have long since become established in the constructors’ standard repertoire. STASSKOL has concentrated on particularly high performance materials. Here, we can name some examples such as polyaryletherketones like PEEK, PEK and PEKEKK, PTFE as well as modified PTFE and also polyimides, polyamid-imide and polyphenylene sulphide which are characterised by a constant use temperature in excess of 150 °C.

The decision of the suitable matrix material is only the first step to create the optimal high-performance material.

Fillers such as glass fibres or carbon fibres for reinforcement or dry lubricants such as molybdenum sulphide or graphite actually provide the polymer with the important target properties for its application such as mechanical rigidity, hardness, friction and wear and tear – here, the perfect mix is often the decisive factor.

High-performance polymers are manufactured at STASSKOL based on powder components using an optimised blending system. This has the advantage that, in addition to standard material processing, individual customer mixtures can be manufactured fast and efficiently.
