NORMS AND STANDARDS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE PLASTICS

(continued) 

Polyetherimide (PEI) – Ultem®

DIN 65498 - Semi-finished products and molded parts made of PEI
ASTM D 5205 - Standard Classification System for PEI Materials
ASTM D 7293 - Standard Test Method for Extruded and Compression-Molded Shapes PEI

Polyimide (PI) – Vespel®

ASTM 6456 - Standard Specification for Finished Parts Made from Polyimide Resin
SAE AMS 3644G - Polyimide, Molded Rod, Bar, and Tube, Plaque, and formed Parts
SAE AMS-P-46112 - Plastic Sheet and Strip, Polyimide

It must always be checked in each individual case whether the material required meets the demands made. Deliveries with appropriate material certificates are the rule in this area. The high-performance plastics listed below meet most requirements and have already proven themselves in many aerospace applications.

• POLYTRON PTFE – for sealing and insulation applications
  
• POLYTRON PVDF – for liquid applications
  

• Ultem® 1000 (PEI) – for insulation applications
• Ultem® 2300 (PEI GF30)– for insulation applications with higher mechanical loads
  
  

• Victrex® PEEK™ - for general applications, high material purity

• Victrex® PEEK™ GL30 (PEEK GF30) – or structural components subject to higher mechanical loads

• Victrex® PEEK™ CA30 (PEEK CF30) – for mechanically heavily loaded components

• Victrex® PEEK™ FC30 (PEEK mod.) – for tribological applications
  

• Torlon® 4203 (PAI) – for mechanically and thermally loaded components

• Torlon® 4301 (PAI GR12) – for tribological applications

• Torlon® 5030 (PAI GF30) – for structural components subject to higher thermal and mechanical loads

• Torlon® 7130 (PAI CF30) – for thermally and mechanically heavily loaded components
  

• Vespel® SP 1 (PI) – for high temperature applications, high material purity

• Vespel® SP 21 (PI GR15) – for tribological applications

• Vespel® SCP 5000 (PI) – for even more heavily loaded high temperature applications

• Vespel® SCP 5050 (PI GR) – for high temperature applications with little expansion
