PLASTMASS™
PEI PLASTIC
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 PEEK. Our plastics are manufactured under high quality standards in our factory.
