High Temperature Polymer Materials
The selection of proper corrosion resistant polymer materials to use in an application is both an art and science. Many variables go into determining the appropriate combination of materials to use in any given part.
Material Specific Considerations
- Modulus of elasticity
- Hardness
- Tear and cut strength
- Compression set
- Chemical compatibility
- Temperature range
- Resilience
- Tensile strength
- Coefficient of friction
Design Specific Considerations
- Bonding to other materials
- Operating environment
- Customer supplied property
- Material density
- Dynamic loading
- Part shape and profile
