Product Highlights

It is dimensionally stable and resists a broad range of chemical agents, it is self extinguishing with minimal fume emission making it a good electrical insulator. Unlike PTFE and other thermoplastics, it has good resistance to mechanical deformation. It does not absorb water and is completely non toxic so it can be used in food contact applications.
It is machined as easily as a polyamide and can be welded effortlessly using the most common methods (hot air, welding strip, ultrasound, vibration, welder).
