Plastics and composites
Plastics and composites: machining
Final Advanced Materials offers the supply and machining of a wide range of plastics and composites. Our team of experts can help you choose the right plastic or composite for your needs.
Overview of plastics
Plastic is a material obtained by polymerisation of compounds (ethylene, propylene, styrene, etc.) derived from oil. It is formulated to satisfy increased requirements in terms of quality, reliability and safety. Many types of plastic exist, and these come in various forms.
Plastics available at Final Advanced Materials:
- POM (Polyoxomethylene)
- PA (Polyamide)
- PEHD (Polyethylene High-Density)
- PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
- PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)
- PP (Polypropylene)
- PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
Overview of composites
A composite material counts at least two immiscible phases: a matrix and a resin. A filler can be added to the mix to enhance the properties of the final product. At Final Advanced Materials, we specialize in working with various types of technical composites to offer optimal solutions for mechanical, electrical, and thermal challenges. Our products are designed to withstand continuous temperatures of up to 800°C.
Composites are mainly composed of epoxy resin, polyester, phenolic resin or silicon. These materials possess exceptional thermal and electrical insulation properties and are insensitive to magnetic fields. These materials are both resistant and machinable.
Composites available at Final Advanced Materials:
- Glass-Epoxy Composite E6000 et E60
- Glass-polyester composite
- Mica-silicon Composite MC5000HT
- Bakelite fabric (Bakelite® or Celoron)
