Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials is considered the world market leader in the production of classic glass-mat-reinforced thermoplastics (GMT). This semi-finished product in panel form was developed primarily as a substitute for metals (steel, aluminum etc.) and its main purchasers can be found in the automotive industry. This is where it is frequently pressed on the industrial scale into complex 3D structural components, although it is also used as panels.

Ketron® 1000 Injection Molded (IM) Polyetheretherketone PEEK shapes are the perfect solution for applications that require excellent chemical, corrosion and wear resistance across a wide range of operating temperatures.
