Engineered Polymers (Amorphous) Semilon CAR (Polycarbonate) Grade UV stabilized Grade FDA compliant Machine grade High impact strength Durable - high resistances to elements (Heat, cold, water, weather, UV light, flame) Transparency - Water Clear Dimensionally stable and creep resistant *Lexan is a registered trademark of Sabic 1/4 to 5 1/4" to 2-1/2" (20% GF) 1/4" to 6" 3/4" to 6" (20% GF) Semilon PSU (Udel P-1700, Polysulfone) Excellent thermal stability High toughness and strength Transparency Broad chemical resistance Good environmental stress cracking resistance High heat deflection temperature Combustion resistance Low creep Approved for food contact and potable water Highly resistant to degradation by gamma or electron beam radiation Withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and repeated sterilization *Udel is a registered trademark of Solvay Advanced Polymers

4 Semilon XTU/XTP (Ultem /PEI, Polyetherimide) Transparent (amber) and colors available Excellent hydrolytic and chemical stability High heat resistance to 392 F Good electrical properties Low creep *Ultem is a registered trademark of Sabic 1/4" to 5" (Unfilled) 1/4" to 4" (Filled) 1/4" to 6" (Unfilled) 1/2" to 3" (Filled) Semilon PPSU50 (Radel, Polyphenylsulfone) Transparency High toughness Amorphous Exceptional strength & modulus at elevated temperatures High long-term heat and steam resistance Inherent flame resistance with low smoke evolution Broad chemical resistance Stable Impact resistance USP Class VI compliant, suitable for many medical applications (Certs available upon request) *Radel is a registered trademark of Solvay Advanced Polymers, LLC 1/4" to 4" 1/4" to 6"

5 II. Engineered Polymers (Fluoropolymers) Semilon HA902 (ECTFE) High purity Excellent Chemical resistance, even at elevated temperatures Good thermal stress cracking resistance Good mechanical properties Excellent low temperature properties Wide temperature range use Abrasion resistant High impact resistant *Halar 902 is a registered trademark of Solvay Advanced Polymers, Inc. 1/4" to 4 1/4" to 3-1/2" Semilon FL6010 (PVDF) PVDF is inherently pure Chemically resistant to a wide array of aggressive fluids and solvents Excellent thermal and dimensional stability High strength Maintains mechanical properties at elevated temperatures Semilon FL740 (Kynar) Kynar (PVDF) is inherently pure Chemically resistant to a wide array of aggressive fluids and solvents Excellent thermal and dimensional stability High strength Maintains mechanical properties at elevated temperatures *Kynar is a registered trademark of Arkema

6 Semilon FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) FEP is a great balance of both Mechanical and Electrical properties It has excellent Chemical Resistance High Service Temperature up to 392 F (200 C) A high level of Toughness at Low-Temperatures Flame Resistant FEP is a great low cost product alternative to PFA or ETFE Semilon PFA (PerFluoroAlkoxy) PFA offers similar properties to FEP, but is considered more of a premium resin. PFA is preferred when extended service is required in hostile environments involving chemical, thermal, and mechanical stress. Offers high melt strength, stability at high processing temperatures, excellent crack and stress resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and more than 10 times the flex life of FEP. It also has high resistance to creep and retention of properties after service at 500 F (260 C), with useful properties at -320 F (95 C). PFA meets FDA 21CRF

7 III. High Performance Polymers (Semi-Crystalline) Semilon PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Outstanding chemical resistance superior to most advanced engineered polymers Very low moisture uptake and will hold tight tolerance when machined into a parts Heat resistant up to 400 F inherently white in color; the surface of PPS will oxidize (turn yellow) when exposed to sunlight or UV Excellent alternative to PEEK, without the bearing properties of PEEK Alternative to PET with higher chemical resistance, especially at elevated temperature PPS can be modified with a variety of filler packages 1/4" to 4" 1/4" to 6" Semilon PK (PEEK, Polyetheretherketone) Opaque Good wear resistance for high temperature material Superior hydrolysis resistance Superior radiation resistance Superior elevated temperature performance, chemical resistance Exceptional strength & modulus at elevated temperatures High long-term heat resistance (292 F) Inherent flame resistance with low smoke evolution Broad chemical resistance USP Class VI Enhanced Semilon PKHM100 (Vestakeep 5000G) Higher molecular weight Extremely high ductility (up to 200%) *Vestakeep is a registered trademark of Evonik 1/4" to 3" (Unfilled) 1/4" to 2" (Filled) 1/4" to 3-1/2" (Unfilled) 1/4" to 3" (Filled)
