To answer these, we will look at five different material families:
• Polyaryletherketones (PAEK)
• Polysulfones (PSU)
• Liquid crystal polymers (LCP)
• Polyetherimides (PEI)
• Polyphenylene sulfides (PPS)
Read on to discover the diverse and growing uses for these elite-level
performers of the thermoplastic world.
They include PPS, PAEKs and LCPs.
However, these high-
heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than
typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate
(PC).
