Arylmax®

Our specialty polymers offer extended life and more machining capabilities to stand up to the toughest environments in the Medical, Oil & Gas, Industrial and Semiconductor industries. Polymics currently offers and manufactures Arylmax®K(PEKK) in resin form.  Our Research & Development lab launched the Arylmax K polymer in 2010 in order to provide a material that would excel in harsh operating conditions that involved temperatures too high for standard PEEK material. The success of this product has inspired a new development: Arylmax® P (PAEK).  Polymics expects to release the new PAEK resin in 2012.  Important qualities of this polymer include high chemical resistance, as well as excellent performance at temperatures higher than the range of standard PEEK.

Special Benefits:

  • The only semi-crystalline polymer with over 200 ºC Tg (higher than PEEK)
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Potential to meet increasingly critical industrial high temp spec
  • A family of polymers with both high temp capability & superior chemical resistance
  • Excellent strength/weight ratio
  • Forms alloy with most commercial high temperature plastics

Materials:

Arylmax®K (PEKK) – this polymer family can work in aggressive high temperature and high pressure environments.  This material can be compounded with carbon fibers, glass fibers, or wear grade parts.  You can also buy this polymer unfilled. Arylmax®P (PAEK) [datasheets available 2012] – this polymer family can work in aggressive high temperature and high pressure environments.  This material can be compounded with carbon fibers, glass fibers, or wear grade parts.  You can also buy this polymer unfilled.
