The first two samples show similar tensile performance. The 4- and 6-ply samples in the above graph were loaded in the transverse direction. The 4-ply sample here has similar tensile performance as the 4-ply sample in Figure 1, which is expected because the two samples contain an equal balance of 0- and 90-degree fibers.

For visual observation, if the sample survived the strain tool and chemical exposure without brittle failure then a positive mark was granted. It can be seen that the PC/ABS and PC/PET samples failed to survive the disinfectant exposure and produce a testable sample. - - 8© 2021 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Table 3B.

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 Polyaryletherketones Polysulfones Liquid crystal polymers Polyetherimides Polyphenylene sulfides There are five major families of high-performance thermoplastics AR YL ET H KE TO N ES SU LF O N 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 All in the Family PH EN YL EN E SU LF 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 Polyaryletherketones Polysulfones Liquid crystal polymers Polyetherimides Polyphenylene sulfides There are five major families of high-performance thermoplastics ET H IM ES LI Q U C RY ST AL P O M 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 All in the Family Source: https://www.craftechind.com/standard-and-custom-parts-in-high-performance-plastics/ TEMPERATURE AND MATERIAL TYPE The two broad classifications of high-performance thermoplastics—amorphous and semi-crystalline— have different temperature characteristics. High temperature capability is a hallmark of high-performance thermoplastics, but it’s a bit complicated. For amorphous polymers like PSU, the cooling rate in FFF is critical.

Any samples or developmental material provided by Seller are provided “AS IS” with no warranty as to its performance and such samples or materials shall not create any warranty by sample, which is hereby waived. Late payments will bear interest at the rate specified in the EC (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012 (as may be amended or replaced from time to time). Buyer shall be obliged to accept the Products and pay the rate specified in the order confirmation for the quantity of Products delivered by Seller.

PIR recycled streams are a bit more controlled because they come from a limited number of sources with less exposure to environmental factors.

Any samples or developmental material provided by Seller are provided “AS IS” with no warranty as to its performance and such samples or materials shall not create any warranty by sample, which is hereby waived. Seller may discontinue any Product sold hereunder at any time, unless Buyer and Seller have otherwise agreed in writing. 8. Late payments will bear contractual interest at the rate of five (5) times the legal interest rate for the current year.
