PLASTMASS™
PEI PLASTIC
Thermoplastic perfect for affordable sliding parts.
PLASTMASS™ PEI plastic (polyetherimide) is ideal for the production of sliding parts that work at higher temperatures, speeds and loads than PET. The use of PLASTMASS™ PEI reduces friction, wear and works in dry operation. It is a robust material that lowers operating costs and is also cheaper than (polyetheretherketone) PEEK. Our plastics are manufactured under high quality standards in our factory in Russia.

ADVANTAGES OF PEI
General chemical resistance of PLASTMASS™ PEI
-
PLASTMASS ™ PEI is resistant to alcohols, fuel for motor vehicles and aircraft, lubricants, cleaning
-
Resistant to weak acids and alkalis (PH-value <9),
-
Resistant to salt solutions, ether, hydrolysis of hot water and steam
-
Resistant to UV radiation
PLASTMASS™ PEI advantages compared with standard PEEK
-
With a toughness comparable to PEEK, PLASTMASS ™ PEI has a much higher final elongation
-
PV-value to 300%
-
All PLASTMASS™ PEI types have a better dimensional stability
-
PLASTMASS™ PEI only loses its rigidity at temperatures that are 50 °C above the maximum temperature load of PEEK
-
Higher wear resistance and impact toughness
PLASTMASS™ PEI advantages compared with bronze
-
Large, pre-producible stocks with PEI make it possible to minimize costs and time for material processing.
-
The low coefficient of friction and improved sliding properties increase the service life of the finished part and ensure less maintenance on machines
-
PLASTMASS™ PEI does not require shrinking due to its elastic properties
-
Our plastic can compensate for geometric errors due to its elasticity
-
It distributes the selective force influences perfectly across the entire finished part
-
Works without lubrication - a failure of the lubrication system does not lead to an emergency situation and a failure of the machine
-
Shock and vibration resistance
-
Low noise characteristics of the sliding parts
-
High positioning accuracy and smooth movement with low feed
-
Works in a dirty environment - PLASTMASS™ PEI has the ability to absorb abrasive foreign particles or impurities due to its elastic surface. As a result, no protruding particles remain on the sliding surface and do not cause abrasive wear.
