Technical notes and company news from the Top Plastic engineering team: material selection, machining advice and compliance updates.
All three survive an engine bay and all three machine well, so the decision usually comes down to one fixed constraint. A side-by-side table of the numbers that actually separate PEEK, PPS and PEI, plus the four questions that decide it.
Read articleBoth are sold as dissipative sheet and rod, both machine cleanly, and both cost far less than PEEK. The choice turns on wear debris, solvent exposure and how tight the tolerance has to stay after a thousand wipes.
Read articlePTFE is the default answer and often the wrong one. Where creep, weldability or purity decide the part, PVDF or PFA does the job at a fraction of the fabrication cost — here is how to tell which case you are in.
