The Thermec™ product range is formulated with different high temperature base polymers depending on the specific application requirements. The growing list of available grades delivers a wide range of properties depending on the type and concentration of the reinforcing agents (glass fibres, minerals, etc.) stabilizers and processing aids.
If your application requirement might not be matched by DOMAMID® or ECONAMID® materials DOMO is able to offer these PPA and PPS based alternatives. Thermec might be the right solution if higher continuous temperature is requested up to 230°C, or if the applications need high chemical resistance, increased dimensional stability or lower moisture absorption.
THERMEC™ S provides unmatched value in demanding applications where superior heat resistance, design stiffness, wear & friction and process flow qualities are required. With no known solvent below 200°C, PPS outperforms PA6, PA6.6 and PPA in most difficult environments, including exposure to steam and harsh chemicals. This makes PPS compounds ideal for water pump impellers and energy exploration and production applications. THERMEC™ S PPS also have the ability to be molded, extruded, or machined to extremely tight tolerances for more precise forming of detailed designs that cannot be matched even by the substitution of metal or cast iron. The THERMEC™ S product range offers a wide variety of reinforcing options with differing filler content, including glass fibre, glass bead and mineral.
