Thermoplastics.Thermoplastics. This comprehensive catalog includes new grades of Meldin polyimide Pronounced "poly-ih-mid." A type of plastic (a synthetic polymeric resin) originally developed by DuPont that is very durable, easy to machine and can handle very high temperatures. Polyimide is also highly insulative and does not contaminate its surroundings (does not outgas). and high-performance thermoplastic materials thermoplastic materials materials used in making casts for broken limbs. Malleable when warmed in hot water or heated with a hairdrier, very quick setting and very strong, e.g. Hexcelite. . Meldin, said to be the most complete range of polyimide and engineered thermoplastic materials available, is offered in custom molded, machined components and stock shapes for machining. The Meldin materials are said to retain their critical properties over temperatures ranging from cryogenic cryogenic /cry·o·gen·ic/ (-jen´ik) producing low temperatures. cry·o·gen·ic adj. 1. Relating to or producing low temperatures. 2. through +600[degrees]F (315[degrees]C) for continuous operation, and may be used intermittently up to +900[degrees]F (482[degrees]C). Superior strength and rigidity, combined with self-lubricating properties, are said to provide long, maintenance-free service for the most demanding bearing and structural applications, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the literature. (Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics) Circle 121 on card |
