FILTER BY CONTINUOUS SERVICE TEMPERATURE
Continuous service temperature is the first criterion when choosing a plastic. For applications at 300 °C and above, please contact us.
High-performance plastics
260 °C continuous
Engineering plastics (up to 100 °C)
100 °C continuous · gears, bushes and precision parts
Industrial plastics
Wear strips, liners, tanks and food applications
Laminates and acrylic
Electrical insulating laminates and acrylic sheet
No listed product covers this temperature range. If you send us details of your application, we will work out a suitable material with you.
Materials and properties
Continuous service temperatures and densities are typical values; actual values depend on the grade and, for temperature, on the load and application.
