  • An Overview of Thermoplastic Valves and Their Performance
    Thermoplastic valves offer a dependable and economical way to handle corrosive chemicals in some of the harshest environments. When comparing nonmetallic valves to metal valves there are many criteria the specifier must consider, including: process pressure, temperature boundaries (high and low
  • A Comparison of Maximum Use Temperatures for High Performance Thermoplastic Composites
    There is an increase in Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics used in structural aerospace. composites exposed to loads and/or load cycling for extended periods of time. These resins,. which include PEEK, PEI and PPS, are typically evaluated by their Glass Transition. Temperature (Tg
  • Plastics Processing Applications: Continuous Hot Melt Production
    at temperatures below 180°F (82°C), are low viscosity fluids above 180°F, and set rapidly upon cooling. The development of hot melt adhesive technology stemmed from the previous use of molten wax for bonding. When this method no longer satisfied performance needs, 100% thermoplastic systems were
  • PPS for Continuous Fiber Composites Aerospace Applications
    . is being used in continuous reinforced composites for. aerospace applications. The FST performance (flammability,. smoke and toxicity), combined with the relatively low cost. for this resin make it uniquely qualified for a number of. interior applications such as high temperature ducting,. seat
  • Plasticized Polyoxymethylene Performance in Fuels
    has made standard POM a preferred material for applications involving fuel exposure - both in gasoline and diesel fuels. An innovative development has led to the introduction of plasticized POM, a material that has. substantially increased flexibility and improved low-temperature performance versus
  • How to Choose Between Automotive Cross-Link and GPT Wire
    electrical usage in vehicles. GPT stands for "General Purpose Thermoplastic " in reference to the jacket around the wire. The PVC insulation jacket is heated and extruded through a die and onto a bare copper wire, serving as insulation that can accept up to about 60 volts and withstand temperatures
  • Application of IR - NDT to Different Aeronautical Plastic Materials (.pdf)
    of aeronautical plastic material defects. The response of the surface temperature to heating has been used to detect subsurface features of defects by means of the plastic sample cooling sequence. Low thermal diffusivity and effusivity of plastics shows a slow process of heat conduction in samples
  • VICTREX (R) PEEK Meets NORSOK M710 Compliance and Continues to Aggressively Test its Polymers in Support of Industry-Leading Test Standards
    it is not a component manufacturer,. Victrex undertook NORSOK M710 Rev 2 approval. of its VICTREX PEEK 450G polymer in 2009: unsurprisingly with a relatively low level of. H2S (2% of the gas phase) at a maximum. temperature of 220°C (428°F), a duration of. 800 hours and for a polymer where thermal. aging tests
