A WIDE RANGE OF FINISHED AND SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS
Thermoplastics are processed into semi-finished or finished products by using various manufacturing processes, i.e. chiefly machining but also moulding, stamping and extrusion.
The resulting products are available in the following forms:
- Plates
- Tubes
- Bars
- Machined parts
- Injection-moulded parts
- Stamped parts
- Cut parts
- Extruded profiles
The thermoplastics in the GPLAST range are used in particular for the following industrial applications :
- Resistance to extreme temperatures (> 300 °C continuous, 500 °C intermittent)
- Dimensional stability at high temperature
- Resistance to wear and friction
- Electrical and dielectric insulation
- Thermal insulation
- Chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Mechanical strength and rigidity (e.g. shock resistance)
- Dissipation of electrostatic charges
- Resistance to UV rays and atmospheric agents
- Resistance to high-energy radiation (X rays and gamma rays)
- Resistance to high-temperature creep
- Inert food contact
- Excellent fire resistance and low toxicity of combustion fumes (GRAIL range), etc.
…. and are intended mainly for the following industrial sectors :
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Pharmaceutical
- Agri-food
- Aeronautics and space
- Nuclear
- Energy
- Metallurgical
- Paper
- Textiles
- Glass
- Electrical and electronic
- etc.
