    Advanced engineering plastics advantages

    Advanced engineering plastics such as PEEK, PEKK, PBI and others can offer many advantages over metallic materials when chosen correctly. They have excellent mechanical and thermal properties, while providing superior chemical and corrosion resistance.

    Listed below are just a few of the advantages of using advanced engineering plastics in place of metallic components:

    • Elimination of lubrication, enabling dry running
    • Reduced wear on mating parts
    • Reduced friction, providing faster operating speeds
    • Lower torque values, resulting in reduced power consumption
    • Improved corrosion and chemical resistance
    • Compliance with industry specifications such as Norsok M-710

    Choosing the correct material

    When choosing the best advanced engineering plastic for your application, we must consider your application conditions, such as temperature, load, speed and chemical compatibility. 

    Refer to our material data sheets or contact us for more information.
