COLORADO provides designers, specifiers and architects with possibilities to use transparent colored polycarbonate sheets in applications where high clarity and optical performance is required.

This amber-colored, transparent material belongs to the group of amorphous high-performance plastics. Polysulfone has a good heat deflection temperature and heat aging resistance (-100 °C to +160 °C). In addition, this material has a high hardness and strength, very good hydrolytic stability and high radiation resistance (permeable to microwaves up to 2.45 GHz). PSU also has high dimensional stability and resistance to β- and γ-, X-rays and infrared rays. However, PSU is not UV stable and notch sensitive.

Due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of engineering plastics. In addition to its high strength, hardness and toughness, it has a high heat deflection temperature of -40 °C to approx. +100 °C. However, the good damping capacity can only be achieved after conditioning, so this material should be re-conditioned after tempering. The material also has good sliding and dry-running properties. Due to the increased moisture absorption behavior in comparison to other polymer materials, possible dimensional changes as well as changes in the mechanical and electrical properties must be taken into account prior to material configuration.

Barbier Group Barpack™ RT is a shrink film multi-layer that offers a very good presentation of the final product and has formulations that can be adapted to the use such as a combination of products and rates machines, and high cadency machines.

Zeus Sub-Lite-Wall® PTFE heat shrink tubing is our ultra-thin walled extrusion family with wall thicknesses 0.005" (0.127 mm) and below. This specialty heat shrink is engineered for applications that not only require thin walls but also a shrink-to-fit encapsulation protection. For this speciality heat shrink, we can even maintain wall thicknesses extending below 0.001" (0.025 mm) with tolerances of ± 0.0005" (0.0127 mm). Our capabilities allow us to meet your most critical dimensional needs. PTFE has an extremely low coefficient of friction making it especially desirable when needing to push covered components such as guidewires through tight fitting or occluded vessels. For medical applications, PTFE products are sterilizable by several options and are also biocompatible. PTFE’s high working temperature also makes it a good option for covering sensors which may become hot during normal use. This micro-dimensional heat shrink fills a critical need for our customers who are demanding ever-thinner walls for more specialized applications. This superthin- walled heat shrink is highly customizable. Contact your Zeus representative to find out how we can tailor PTFE Sub-Lite-Wall® heat shrink for you.

PTFE is well known for its chemical resistance, not aging, non stick, self-lubrication, insulation and wide working temperature range from -180°C to +260°C. Because of these excellent properties, PTFE has a wide application in fields of chemical, mechanical, electronics, medical and aviation, etc.

LiNNOTAM stands for: Licharz iNNOvation in LacTAM and includes all polyamides manufactured by Licharz in the monomer casting process from caprolactam or laurolactam . Due to its balanced mechanical properties and excellent machinability, LiNNOTAM is particularly suitable as a construction material for machine and plant construction.

Exolon® sheets are a range of transparent and translucent polycarbonate sheets featuring extremely high impact resistance - an outstanding property that they maintain over a wide temperature range.

SurfaceChoice® Printed Films help you make a dramatic impact in any environment.

A top-coated metallized polyethylene with exceptional barrier performance. For use in all-PE packaging structures as a recycle-ready packaging solution.

Manunature® range of films is more recyclable, biodegradable and reducing carbon dioxide emissions more than ever, without affecting product integrity or performance.

Polyphenylensulfone is an amorphous material, with improved impact and hydrolysis resistance compared to PSU. This amber-colored, transparent material is usually used in a black color, which is why we only offer it in this color version so far. The usual operating temperature is approx. +170 °C. The extremely high notch impact strength remains also after a heat aging.

Due to its thermal and mechanical properties, this amorphous material belongs to the polymer group of standard plastics. In addition to its high mechanical strength and rigidity, it certainly has an extraordinarily brilliant transparency. Its weather and UV resistance as well as its surface hardness are also very high

TPX Polymethylpentene (PMP) is a crystalline thermoplastic with a very low-density value of 0.82 g/cc and unique permeability characteristics. Its typical color is a translucent milky white, however in thinner gage sheet and film the material is transparent.

The Semitron® Semiconductor Grade products were developed to help designers and users optimize the performance of device manufacturing equipment.  In addition to device manufacture, many of these materials are ideal for specific environments where wear-resistance, chemical-resistance and the management of static electricity are required. Two groups of products have been developed. One, well suited for device handling and test applications, and a second for next-generation CMP use.

Polyethylene terephthalate is a semi-crystalline material from the polyester family of plastics and, due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, is counted among the polymer group of engineering plastics. It has a high surface hardness and good sliding and wear behavior.
