Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) Properties & Applications
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. It was originally introduced by Victrex PLC, then Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in the early 1980s. Properties:PEEK is a semicrystalline th...Read More -
Polymer Adsorption Applications
Adsorption is the adhesion of ions or molecules onto the surface of another phase. Adsorption may occur via physisorption and chemisorption. Ions and molecules can adsorb to many types of surfaces including polymer surfaces. A polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating subunits bound toget...Read More -

Polycarbonates (PC) vs Polymer PTFE/FEP Machining
Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these propert...Read More -
Replacing Failed Glazing Gaskets and Seals
One of the key properties that should be expected from any window or door is the ability to keep the heat in a building and the cold and wet weather outside. Flexible glazing seals are used in window and door frames to ensure that the outside weather is keep exactly that, outside. However, over t...Read More -
Polymer Extrusion & Injection Molding Process Comparison
Extrusion is widely used in various industries.The screw in the extruder rotates and develops sufficient pressure to force material to go through a die and produce products with desired geometry. Injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plasti...Read More
