PTFE material (polytetrafluoroethylene commonly referred to as Teflon) is a highly dense material, semi crystalline in nature, renowned for its outstanding chemical resistance, ability to withstand low and high temperatures ranging from -200°C to +260°C (and up to 300°C for short periods of service), resistance to weathering, low friction characteristics, excellent electrical and thermal insulation, and non-stick surface. PTFE is available in both natural form and filled grades, including glass-filled, bronze-filled, graphite-filled, and carbon-filled grades, offering enhanced properties for specific applications. Typical product applications for PTFE include bearings, bushings, rollers, solid gaskets, \'O\' rings, bellows, seals, plugs, washers, tank liners, feed heads, and flanges. At Classic Polymers, we specialise in manufacturing PTFE in various forms to cater to your specific needs. Our range includes rods, tubes, sheets, cords, tapes, gaskets, \'O\' rings, washers, as well as custom-made components tailored to your requirements.

PEEK material (chemically known as Polyetheretherketone) is extruded in sheet, rod and tube that may use Victrex® PEEK or Solvay polymer as a raw material. PEEK stands out as a distinctive engineering thermoplastic with semi-crystalline properties, providing exceptional chemical compatibility as well. It is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that is particularly suitable for high-temperature applications ranging from extremely low temperature to +250°C for long terms and to +310°C for short terms. This material exhibits excellent mechanical strength, stiffness, and hardness, along with good resistance to creep and dimensional stability. It possesses favourable electrical insulating and dielectric properties and demonstrates exceptional resistance to high-energy radiation. PEEK is highly recommended for use in industries such as aerospace, nuclear, chemical, automotive, and electrical. Classic Polymers provides PEEK material in various forms, including rods, sheets, tubes, and components, available in both natural and filled grades. PEEK plastic finds frequent application in environments involving hot water or steam due to its ability to uphold essential physical properties like flexural and tensile strength, even under harsh conditions. PEEK components are lighter, stronger and able to withstand severe application environments / operating conditions with high reliability which allows for very high up-time in service.

Extruded Polyamide / Nylon Plastic material, is available in standard stock shapes such as sheets, rods or tubes and can be machined to requirement. Extruded nylon can be of type PA 6, PA 12 or PA 66 and offers a balanced combination of performance and cost that provides end users with an optimal engineering plastic for standard applications or general purpose applications. Depending on the type, the extruded polymer differs in properties because of differences in molecular structure.These differences notably impact the mechanical properties and moisture absorption characteristics of the nylon. Nylon was the first engineering resin and is used in versatile applications ranging from electronic, marine, and automotive industries, to fibres for textiles. Extruded Nylon 6 / 66 has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties whilst also exhibiting very good temperature, chemical and impact properties. Additionally, this grade exhibits favourable electrical insulating ability and good chemical resistance. With a recommended working temperature of 85°C, it provides reliable performance in a wide range of applications.

Polyurethane is an extraordinary elastomeric material renowned for its exceptional physical properties. Polyurethane exhibits toughness, flexibility, resistance to abrasion and extreme temperatures, puncture resistance, and a broad hardness range. It combines the strength of metal with the elasticity of rubber, making it a versatile material for various applications. It is increasingly being specified to replace traditional materials such as metals and wood in a growing number of situations. It offers exceptional tear strength and flexibility, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring these properties. We offer cast polyurethane in basic shapes such as rods, tubes, and sheets. Additionally, we provide custom-made components tailored to your specific requirements. Properties & Specifications High abrasion resistance Light weight High impact strength High cut and tear strength Corrosion & chemical resistance (including ozone resistance) Non-conductive in nature Noise reduction when replacing plastics / metals in certain applications
