PLASTIC FABRICATION

With more than 45 years of experience with plastics, Zeus has become the internationally recognized leader in the design and production of high-performance polymer extrusions using the following materials (or resins):

Fluoropolymers

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Lowest coefficient of friction of any polymer
Extremely broad working temperature range
Maximum working temperature 500° F
FEP (Fluorinatedethylenepropylene)
More transparent than PTFE
Better gas and vapor permeability properties than PTFE
Maximum working temperature 400° F
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy)
Higher continuous service temperature than FEP
Melt processible - so it can be processed in longer continuous lengths than PTFE
Maximum working temperature 500° F
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Flouride)
Excellent chemical resistance
High level of purity
Maximum working temperature 235° F
THV (Tetrafluoroethylene, Hexafluoropropylene and Vinylidene Fluoride)
The most flexible fluoropolymer available
Highest degree of optical clarity
ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene)
Excellent impact resistance
Good resistance to stress cracking
ECTFE (Chloro Trifluoro Ethylene / Ethylene Copolymer)
Ultra low permeability
Superior durability

Biomaterials

Absorv® - bioabsorbables
Aeos® - ePTFE
Electrospun Polymers

Other Polymers

PET (Polyethylene Terepthalate Polyester)
UV resistant
Extremely strong

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
High temperature performance
Extremely high tensile strength
Maximum working temperature 482° F

Nylon (Nylon 6/6, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, Pebax)
Good chemical resistance
Wide range of flexibility

Polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE, LDPE)
Inherent lubricity
Excellent chemical resistance
