The advent of digital era brings with it quantum jump in productivity and efficiency across the board in activities related to manufacturing and services. Digitalization of manufacturing processes enhances productivity at the same time providing unprecedented product quality. These, however is accompanied with issues of appropriate choice of construction materials that are high in strength, lighter and can operate at elevated temperatures for building machines.
High Performance materials have mitigated such issues and find usage in variety of applications. For example, in Aerospace digitalization alone would have been insufficient without help of right materials to enhance speed and load carrying capabilities of an Air Craft. PEEK, Poly Ether Ether Ketone is one such High Performance Material which has been instrumental in pushing limits of performance in wide variety of applications.
PEEK as a material has outstanding attributes like good tensile and mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures, exceptional inertness, radiation withstanding capabilities and suitability to be formed through spectrum of processes in diverse forms, making it much sought after for applications in various industrial uses, medical equipment’s, body implants, Air craft cables, off shore equipment’s for oil exploration and in energy generation to name a few. The neat molecule when modified with special lubricants and reinforcements like carbon fibers further enhances its capabilities for custom applications.
Vinit Performance Polymers Pvt. Ltd. specializes in providing solutions based on PEEK and POM stock shapes ( Rods, Plates and Tubular bars) as well as CNC machined components for specific solutions from natural as well as modified grades. Some of the typical uses include Valve seats for ball valves, short term body implants, components for medical devices, thermal insulation for heat management and host of industrial applications.
