Temperature Resistant Plastic Sheet

Vespel without a doubt vespel can take the heat.

Temperature resistant plastic sheet.

Let s take a look at the four most popular heat resistant plastic materials. Choose from our selection of plastic sheets including slippery uhmw polyethylene clear impact resistant polycarbonate and more. Negligible effect on mechanical properties. Good wear properties low friction acetal plastic sheet.

High temperature applications often require plastics to have good creep resistance chemical resistance and friction and wear performance. Each material is suited to different applications due to variations in strength wear resistance corrosion resistance etc. Some swelling and a small reduction in mechanical likely. Known for its naturally slippery surface ptfe surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

A no attack possibly slight absorption. High temperature applications require plastic materials that can resist thermal degradation and maintain sufficient strength and stiffness at the required operating temperature. Some of these materials exceed 300 cst. This non melting polyimide can withstand repeated heating up to 300 c without altering its thermal or mechanical properties making it a popular choice for jet engines industrial machinery cars trucks and other vehicles.

These materials include products such as vespel torlon peek teflon meldin celazole macor. The working temp is 33 deg f to 160 deg f. Want to know more. Delrin plastic and delrin black delrin sheet bridge the gap between metals and plastic.

For vex robotics teams hobby diy industrial crafts. Plastic materials will generally become stronger stiffer and more brittle at cryogenic temperatures. And the forming temperatures of 245 deg f. Dimensional stability can be a concern when plastic components are used in contact with metal parts.

However a number of high performance plastics including peek and dupont vespel are widely used as bearings seals and thermal insulators in cryogenic applications. Polyvinyl chloride pvc this pvc sheet has excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance. B slight attack by absorption. It is good electrical and thermal insulator and has a self extinguishing per ul test 94.

High temperature plastics are typically classified as materials that can exceed 250 f in continuous operating temperature aka continuous service temperature. In stock and ready to ship.
