Victrex
plc is an innovative, world-leading, high performance
materials group. Victrex is the sole manufacturer
of PEEK™ polymer, a high performance thermoplastic
with a unique combination of properties
The Semiconductor industry's demand for smaller, tight tolerance IC packages that operate at higher frequencies is making it increasingly difficult for traditional materials previously used for test socket applications.
ENSITAL SD® is a natural copolymer acetal with static dissipative characteristics. Its comparatively low surface and colume resistivities, excellent bearing and wear properties, and toughness make ENSITAL SD and ideal material for moving components experiencing friction, or parts subject to sluid flow contact. ENSITAL SD® contains noncarbon, permanently anti-static additives which do not migrate and are not affected by humidity levels.
Permanent anti-static
(ENSITAL SD® has a surface resistivity of 109 - 1011 ohms/square)
Superior bearing and wear properties
(Compared to unfilled acetal, ENSITAL SD® has significantly improved wear rates.)
Low coefficient of friction
Contains no carbon additives
(ENSITAL SD® is an inherently static-dissipative composite containing no carbon and is generally acceptable for clean room applications.)
Good impact properties
Unaffected by humidity
(Both the copolymer acetal base and anti-static alloying additives are unaffected by moisture)
Insulates against moderate to high leakage currents
(Because ENSITAL SD® has resistivity values at the upper end of the dissipative range, it is an effective in sulator against moderate and high leakage currents.)
Non-particulating
ENSITAL SD® is an inherently anti-static copolymer acetal that is ideal for applications requiring static dissipation that cannot tolerate the presence of carbon. It has excellent wear properties and is targeted to the business machine, semiconductor, and electrical/electronic markets.
