Before of all it’s better to know that in the polymer world there’re distinct area :
Standard polymers, like ABS, PVC, HIPS, PP, PE etc, the most common materials used in a large range of applications.
Techno polymers such PC, PET, PA etc, applied in elements with an upper level of performance than standard.
High techno polymers, PEI, PPSU, PVDF, PTFE etc, used when the performance are critical.
Super high techno polymers, PEEK and PPS, actually the most technical polymers on market, when the special application knock the door of metal replacement.
And now we ask those directly concerned.

When you was born ?

l saw the light by Friedel
and Crafts in 1888, but
only in 1940 start my
industrialization

I was born in 1978, in ICI labs,
Imperial Chemical
Industries, in England

Can I ask your name ?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Sure,
Polyphenylene Sulfide

Of course,
Polyether ether ketone

Why people say you’re a metal replacement ?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
In many particular
applications I can replace
metal items
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Because i can produce
difficult component than
metal

Can be more clear?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
The term metal replacement stands for all those plastic components that replace traditional metal parts
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Replace metal parts with plastic parts, better in lightness and complex details

Why I must choose you ?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
I’m very stiff and my chemical resistence is one of the best. Screw grip is satisfied.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Why? You ask me why? Because i’m the best in fatigue, chemical aggression, bio compatibility.

And in 3D printing?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
‘I’m not so sofisticated to print like PEEK, I need only an extruder can set at 320°
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Well, I prefer heated chamber with 170-180°C, an extruder that can arrive at 430°C
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1635412075672{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
Are you able to work at 200°C ?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
My version filled with glass at 25% can arrive at 280°, with post treatment
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
In natural version, unfilled, I work at 200°C, but in filled version with glass fiber I can arrive at 280°
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1635412075672{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
Who’s the more expensive ?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411814033{background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Compared to other polymers, I’m not so cheap, but between PEEK and me there’s an high distance, me more low
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1635411914727{background-color: #fdc134 !important;}”][vc_column_text]
It’s a point of view. Need best performance? Don’t look at the price but at the result.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1635414167617{padding-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]And now we can conclude our short talk with those two super techno polymers, both very interesting and very high performer.
Hope that can help the printers to choose the correct material for their application.
