POMALUX®
Made from Acetal Copolymer Resin
Material characteristics
Westlake POMALUX sheet have many of the characteristics of metal including: Stiffness, dimensional stability, structural strength and spring-like resiliency. POMALUX products are inherently self-lubricating, making them ideally suited for wear applications.

Stock shapes:
Heavy Gauge Sheet (2-1/2- 6") -- Extruded (Stress Relieved)
Heavy Gauge Sheet (1/4"- 2") -- Compression Molded (Stress Relieved)
Thin Gauge Sheet -- Extruded (Non-Stress Relieved)
Rod (1/8"- 8") -- Extruded (Stress Relieved)
Film (.002"-.029") -- Extruded

Stock colors: Natural (White), Black.

Stress relieving
All Westlake POMALUX heavy gauge sheets are stress relieved for easy machining. Extruded heavy gauge sheet (2-1/2-6") are stress relieved by annealing. Compression molded sheet (1/4" - 2") is inherently stress relieved, which results in very low residual stress and superior flatness and straightness.

Large compression molded sheet (up to 61" x 121")
Westlake is the only company capable of making 72" x 144" compression molded acetal copolymer sheet in standard sizes 48" x 121" and 61" x 121". These POMALUX sheets are ideal for large fabricated parts or multiple parts where a large sheet offers better yields. 72" x 144" sheet is available on a custom basis.

 

WESTLAKE® PEEKTM (Polyetheretherketone)

Material Characteristics
PEEK is a high performance semi-crystalline thermplastic. PEEK's characteristics include high-temperature performance, excellent wear characteristics, superior chemical resistance and outstanding toughness and strength properties.

APPLICATIONS:

  • Valve seats, pumps gears, high purity seals
  • Electrical connectors, wafer carriers
  • Motor and engine parts
  • Laboratory and analytical equipment

Advantages of PEEK

  • High strength
  • High Purity
  • High temperature
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Broad solvent resistance
Standard Sizes:
Rod: 5/16" - 3"
Film: .001" - .029"

Non-Standard Sizes Sheet: Sheet: 1/2" - 1-1/2" (extruded)

Colors: Natural buff (available in black by request only)

 

HYDEX® 4101 - PBT

Advantages

  • Outstanding wear properties
  • Exhibiting low wear and good lubricity with a low coefficient of friction.
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good impact and moderate temperature resistance
  • Outstanding machinability and more forgiving than PET polyester during fabrication



WAFER TRANSFER/WAFER HANDLING EQUIPMENT


TEMPALUX® CN-F Made from Conductive Polyetherimide Resin


Material Characteristics
Westlake TEMPALUX CN-F stock shapes are made from a specially compounded carbon fiber filled polyetherimide resin that makes these products conductive and highly wear resistant. The elevated temperature capabilities of this product make it ideal for the most demanding of static control applications.

  • Carbon Fiber Filled
  • Extremely Strong and Stiff
  • Dimensionally Stable
  • Non-Sloughing
  • High Temperature Resistance

Stock Shapes:
Rod: 1/2"- 1" dia (48" standard length) - Stress Relieved Sheet: 3/8"- 2" thickness - Stress Relieved
Note: TEMPALUX CN-F is a custom product, however, many sizes and shapes are available for immediate shipment.

POMALUX® SD-A (Static-dissipative Acetal Copolymer)

Non-carbon filled, permanently static-dissipative material. The filler is non-migratory and non-humidity dependent.

  • Enhanced lubricity
  • Superior wear resistance and ease of machining
  • Extremely low outgassing values
  • Chemically resistant and dimensionally stable.
  • Non-sloughing characteristics make it ideal for applications where particulate generation cannot be tolerated.
