◆ The name of high temperature plastics is in use due to their continuous service temperature (CST), which is always higher than 150°C by definition (although this is not their only feature, as it can be seen above).

◆ High performance plastics differ from standard plastics and engineering plastics primarily by their temperature stability, but also by their chemical resistance and mechanical properties, production quantity and price.

◆ High temperature plastics can be divided in amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, just like all polymers. Polysulfone (PSU), Polyphenylsulphone (PPSU), Polyethersulfone (PES) and Polyetherimide (PEI) for example are amorphous; polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Polyphthalamide (PPA), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), however are semi-crystalline.

◆ High temperature thermoplastic compounds offer significant retention of physical properties, along with dimensional stability and excellent electrical characteristics, at increased temperatures. 

◆ High temperature plastics offer better chemical resistance than most other standard and engineering resins.

◆ IPAX has the ability and techniques to customize these high termperature plastics to your every specification and application; each high termperature plastic compound may be modified for flame retardance, wear resistance, conductivity, structural reinforcement, and color in single or multi-property.

◆ With cutting-edge compounding technologies and polymers expertise, IPAX can produce those super high performance plastic compounds, which are based on PA46, PPA, PPS, PEI, PES, PSU, PPSU and PEEK resin systems to formulate the highest performance thermoplastics portfolio available.

Custom high temperature specialty compounds are available to meet your specific end-use applications, additionally combined with structural reinforcement, wear resistance, conductivity, flame retardance, color and other specific properties into a single compound.
