Following are top reasons why many manufacturers and designers choose
high-performance thermoplastics:
• High-temperature resistance • Chemical resistance
• Flame/smoke/toxicity (FST) performance • Chemically inert
PLUS, ALL
THE BENEFITS
OF PLASTIC
In addition to their elite-level properties,
high-performance thermoplastics deliver
the typical advantages of polymers over
other material types such as metal, glass and
ceramic, including:
• Light weight
• Design freedom/part consolidation
• Easy colorability
• Efficient, high-volume processing
• Elimination of secondary operations
• Enhanced product experience
for the end user
- quieter environment
- improved tactile feel
- better usability
ADVANTAGES
Going Above
and Beyond
• Amorphous structure
• High marks for toughness, chemical resistance,
hydrolytic stability, resistance to boiling water,
and extreme thermal capabilities
• Best for: aerospace interiors, hot water fittings,
and medical and dental devices that are
subjected to repeated steam sterilization
• Also used in food equipment exposed to
temperature extremes, such as coffeemakers
or freezer-to-microwave cookware

ES• Semi-crystalline structure
• High marks for thermal stability, chemical
resistance and mechanical properties over
a wide temperature range
• Better-than-average levels of combustion
resistance and electrical performance
• Some PAEK materials, like polyetheretherketone
(PEEK), are also extremely tough and have
excellent impact strength
• Best for: aerospace, automotive, industrial
and medical components
• May be used to create stock shapes such as
rods, bars, and tubes

ES • Semi-crystalline structure
• Excellent temperature resistance with continuous
service temperatures up to 230°C
• High marks for modulus and resistance to creep,
corrosion, and chemicals
• Above-average electrical properties
• Best for: complex parts with extremely tight
tolerances; often used as an alternative to metals
and thermosets in automotive underhood parts,
appliances, electronics, and industrial applications

S • Semi-crystalline structure
• High degree of anisotropy: strength, stiffness
and thermal expansion will be greater in one
direction vs. the other
• High marks for temperature, chemical
and electrical resistance
• Exceptional mechanical strength
and high flow rates; often used to fill
extremely long parts with thin walls
• Best for: electronic connectors, sensors,
bullet-resistant vests, jet engine enclosures,
brake and transmission friction parts, and gaskets
• Amorphous structure
• High marks for thermal, mechanical,
and chemical properties
• Often selected for demanding applications requiring
ultra-high mechanical strength combined with high
temperature, corrosion and wear resistance
• Impact resistance may be lower than
that of PSUs and PAEKs
• Best for: aerospace interiors, automotive lighting,
medical devices, and electrical and fiber optic
connectors

TEMPERATURE AND MATERIAL TYPE
The two broad classifications of high-performance thermoplastics—amorphous and semi-crystalline—
have different temperature characteristics.
