Polyimide Rod

BIEGLO is the official distributor of Saint Gobain Performance Plastics for the Meldin 7000 product line semi-finished products. Our polyimide semi-finished products meet the highest demands of various industries, such as the aerospace or the automotive industry. The polyimide semi-finished products are available as solid rods or sheets. Tubes can be produced as short, direct formed pieces. Polyimide semi-finished products are available in various compounds, for example with PTFE or graphite for better coefficients of friction. Polyimide sheets are available in the standard size 305mm x 305mm and a thickness of 1.6mm up to 50.8mm. Polyimide rods have a standard length of 965mm. The diameters of the solid bars are distributed from 6.3mm to 82.5mm.

BIEGLO offers finished or semi-finished parts directly formed from polyimide powder with all the attributes of sintered PI. The advantage of direct formed parts are the lower costs as quantitiy is increasing. Due to almost zero percent waste during production it can be a more economic production method. Machined parts are widely used for small series high precision applications. Polyimide direct formed parts can be used in different applications: Automotive industry: racing engine fuel line. Jet engine: vane bushing or lock nut insert. Industrial machinery: hotrunner systems nozzles or plasma cutting torch as gas distributers or sealing components. Semicon HDPCVD Equipment: e.g. heater coil spacer. Life sciences: rotor seal or pneumatic surgical tool vane.

PEEK is the ideal replacement for metal and other plastics due to its high temperature resistance of up to 240°C , excellent chemical and wear resistance. The Dexnyl PEEK rods of BIEGLO offer resistance to elevated temperatures, radiation and chemicals. Their dimensional stability and mechanical strength are second to none. Our PEEK has an excellent hydrolysis and electrical insulation. BIEGLO offers natural, colored and tribological modified PEEK with superior sliding properties and abrasion resistance. We offer a wide range of PEEK rods diameter starting at 6mm to 100mm. Our PEEK rods are also available made of compounded PEEK.

Polyetherimide is an amorphous thermoplastic and part of the polyimide family. It has excellent dimensional accuracy over a wide temperature range and has low thermal expansion. BIEGLO's sales portfolio for PEI contains rods from 8mm to 100mm. The most common applications of PEI are in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and electronics industry as well as precision engineering.
