Industrial Plastic Insulators PAI/PPS CNC Turning And Anti-Static Coating
What is Special Engineering Plastic?
Special engineering plastics are a type of high-performance polymer with characteristics such as high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and lightweight. Common types include:
PEEK: High temperature resistance (250 ° C), used in aerospace and medical applications.
PI: High temperature resistance (above 300 ° C), used for high-temperature insulation.
PPS: Chemical corrosion resistance, used in automobiles and electronics.
PEI: Flame retardant and low smoke, used for aircraft interior and electronics.
PTFE: Corrosion resistant, low friction, used for sealing and coating.
Widespread Use of Special Plastics in the Aerospace Industry
