Thermoplastic Elastomers
and high-heat grades, specific grades have been developed for airdams, fascias, and filler panels with excellent impact resistance down to -40 F and capable of withstanding on-line painting. Lomod thermoplastic elastomers are also used in connectors, wire, cable, hose, tubing, and other applications. Styrene

PEEK vs. Metal: Why Plastic is Better (.pdf)
where two grams. can make a difference and where weight is directly correlated to fuel cost, lightweight PEEK. tubing is superior to stainless steel. PEEK matches aluminum in mechanical properties, and is. more resistant to fluids such as hydraulic fluids. Thinwall PEEK is more flexible and kink

Polyimide composites challenge metals
. For larger volumes, and complex geometries, direct forming from sheet molding compounds (SMC) or new thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) composites can be cost effective. A case in point. To see how composites can outperform metal, consider a tube clamp for an aircraft engine. The clamps attach hydraulic, hot
