Used for a variety of applications for thermal insulation in aluminum windows, doors and facade systems, polyamide (PA) offers good insulating properties and excellent mechanical performance

With its high stiffness, good stability and very high dimensional accuracy, the technical plastic polybutylene terephthalate is ideally suited to the production of demanding extruded profiles

Offering a unique combination of excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance and outstanding chemical resistance, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is one of the most popular high-performance plastics

Thanks to its attractive price-performance ratio and high-temperature resistance of up to 200 °C (392 °F) in the short term, 170 °C (338 °F) long-term, this amorphous high-performance thermoplastic is growing in popularity

The standard plastic polyethylene is the most widely used plastic globally. Found in various everyday items, for example in the forms of foils, shopping bags or plastic bottles for cleaning agents, it is also widely applied in industry where it can be used for cable coatings or even in toy production

Perhaps best-known as the material from which PET plastic bottles and polyester fibers in clothing are made, this versatile plastic is found across a range of application fields, including the sliding parts such as bearing bushes and slide rails, components in food technology systems, and electrical insulation parts. It’s even used to produce materials for film

Polyketone offers outstanding mechanical properties, including good wear resistance, excellent resistance to chemicals, viscosity, impact and abrasion resistance

Ideally suited to the production of challenging extrusion profiles thanks to its highly resistant characteristics: can withstand high temperatures, pressure and the impact of aggressive chemical substances

A modification of polyamide, polyphthalamide is a highly stable, resistant and thermally stable thermoplastic

Balanced properties make polypropylene ideally suited to use in everyday products and industrial applications alike
