| Properties/attributes include: High continuous-use and heat-distortion temperatures. Non flammable. High-strength and stiffness parts with low creep. Improved friction and wear behavior. Emergency (dry) running property. Highly chemically-resistant parts. Automotive industry, textile-and office machinery, medical- and precision engineering. Typical uses include: Control disks, gear wheels, pump impellers, gear parts for automotive appliances, chip carrier. Processing: The material does not necessarily have to be predried; when originally sealed containers are used, this process may normally be omitted. Processing temperatures above 360°C may very rapidly cause thermal damage and should therefore be avoided. Post-crystallization may lead to warpage at elevated operating temperatures. This can be counteracted by suitable heat treatment. The processing notes provided merely represent a recommendation for general use. Due to the large variety of machines, geometries and volumes of parts, etc., it may be necessary to employ different settings according to the specific application. High-temperature polymers place increased demands on the tool steels employed. Information provided by Lehmann & Voss & Co.KG |
