Lay-Flat™ tubing can be extruded from multiple polymers including FEP, PE, PEEK, as well as others upon request. Lay-Flat™ tubing allows thin walled tubing to be shipped in long continuous lengths on spools without kinking and be processed in downstream manufacturing more easily. Lay-Flat™ tubing's compact form simplifies shipping and can be used in various applications that require an added layer of protection. For example the energy industry utilizes PEEK Lay-Flat™ tubing that is further cut and formed as slot liners and phase insulation for advanced motor insulation. The PEEK Lay-Flat™ tubing is rated at 260 °C. PEEK Lay-Flat™ is chemicaly resistant and can replace traditional Nomex® materials for higher performance motor applications.

Polyimide (PI) are a class of high performing polymers recognized for their outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Polyimides typically exhibit consistent properties through high and low temperatures and possess very good dielectric traits. These thermally stable polymers are biocompatible for use within the body and are sterilizable by several methods. Polyimides are also very resistant to abrasion and have very good wear characteristics. Polyimide can be applied as a coating for over-the-wire (OTW; PI insulated wire) applications for both medical and non-medical uses. Polyimide provides a low friction surface for ease of pushability (deployment) of PI insulated lead wires and can be applied in extremely thin coatings. PI Glide™, a PI / PTFE composite, is an alternative for applications that require a more lubricious surface but do not require the performance of pure PTFE. PI and PI Glide™ coated wire are also available in a layered or composite construction allowing further customization of properties.

ELASTOSIL® R solid silicone rubber grades are peroxide-curing. They can be processed by conventional methods, such as extrusion, calendering, compression and transfer molding, or injection molding. They cure in heat and are ideal for manufacturing a variety of silicone rubber articles.

PEEK, a linear, semi–crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered one of the highest performing thermoplastic materials; it can withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure and caustic fluids. Now, Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with PEEKshrink™. PEEKshrink™ provides a shrink-to-fit layer of protection for sensitive components and critical connections. PEEKshrink™ is an ideally suited product for challenging environments such as oil and gas exploration where abrasion, intense pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to wires and electrical components. PEEKshrink™ is an obvious and optimal splicing aid for PEEK insulated wire. PEEKshrink™ is an alternative to traditional fluoropolymer protective coatings with its very wide working temperature range.

JetFil® portfolio meets increasingly demanding impact resistance and dimensional stability specifications for automotive applications such as bumpers and body panels. The JetFil® product range features the finest and most efficient grades from the Magris Talc portfolio for automotive applications. When the melt flow of TPOs is increased, impact strength tends to drop. The impact strength of talc-reinforced polyolefins is directly linked to the particle size distribution of the talc and to how it disperses in the matrix. To overcome any density issues due to their ultrafine grind, JetFil® talcs are produced in compacted form to increase bulk density and allow maximum compounding throughput. Their compaction level has been adjusted to provide an optimum handling/ redispersion balance.

EXTEM™ Resin portfolio of amorphous thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) and polyetherimide (PEI) resins offers a powerful combination of outstanding elevated thermal resistance up to 280°C Tg, high strength, stiffness, and creep performance up to 230°C, broad chemical resistance including chlorinated solvents and eliminates the draw-backs of semi-crystalline materials, imidized thermosets, and competitive amorphous thermoplastics which can require post-molding curing or crystallization. In addition, EXTEM™ resin is inherently flame-retardant without the use of halogenated additives that can pose an environmental risk. EXTEM™ is available in transparent and opaque custom colors, as well as glass filled grades. In the near future, EXTEM™ with additional fillers will be available through SABIC LNP™ Compounds to provide wear resistance performance, electrostatic dissipative properties, enhanced dimensional stability, and more. EXTEM™ resin portfolio is extremely versatile allowing SABIC to design products that can offer design engineers exceptional flexibility and freedom.
