Polymers meet
demands for weight
savings and reliability
Victrex Polymer Solutions displayed a
broad range of its high performance
polyaryletherketones, such as Victrex
®
PEEK, Vicote
®
coatings, Aptiv
®
film
and Victrex Pipes™, at the JEC Europe
composites show in Paris, in March.
Victrex also showcased its PEEK HMF
polymers, based on the 90-series
formulation, which has primarily been
used by customers to mould tough,
thin-wall parts.
Showcasing Victrex PEEK HMF
at this event is a direct response to
global trends that continue to focus
on removing weight for fuel efficiency
purposes, lean manufacturing and
greater reliability, with design engineers
looking for proven plastic materials that
can perform with the same assurance
as traditional metals.
For more than 30 years,
standard Victrex PEEK
unfilled, carbon fibre and
glass fibre polymers have
proven successful in
removing excess weight
from the likes of aircraft
and industrial equipment. Victrex
also understands that, as operating
environments become more extreme,
material integrity will be critical to
performance. The inclusion of high-
modulus fibres (HMF) into high-flow
Victrex PEEK materials offers the
strength and stiffness that have given
engineers the confidence to displace
metals such as steel, aluminium,
titanium, brass and magnesium in
aircraft system attachments, industrial
machinery, and semiconductor and
medical equipment.
“Lightweight thermoplastics such as
Victrex PEEK HMF polymers not only
can help engineers reduce component
weight by up to 80 per cent when
compared to metals like steel and
brass, but offer an equivalent stiffness
and strength, demonstrating that our
materials are just as capable as the
metals they are replacing,” explained
Stephen Dougherty, strategic marketing
manager at Victrex Polymer Solutions.
