Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Dec 4, 2008
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has expanded its range of basic shapes to offer a full range of sheets and rods.
Saint-Gobain offers the market standard of 254 x 254mm square sheets, in thicknesses ranging from 1.6mm up to 50.8mm in small incremental steps, and a more economical sheet size of 305 x 305mm in the same thickness range, yielding 44 per cent more material per sheet for added productivity and better economy, since fewer machine setups are needed for the same amount of parts.
The larger sheet dimension also allows the machining of larger parts inside one single sheet, with no need to connect multiple elements to form one component.
In addition to the sheets, isostatically moulded rods are available in 305mm and 940mm lengths and cover a full diameter range, starting at 6.35mm and moving up to 82.5mm in small increments.
The Meldin 7000 Series consists of five grades, with each grade having specific benefits.
Meldin 7001 is the virgin (unfilled) base polyimide with superior electrical and thermal insulation properties.
Meldin 7021 is 15 per cent graphite-filled for universal use in dynamic applications, and Meldin 7022 has 40 per cent graphite added for increased dimensional stability and high-temperature property retention.
Meldin 7211 is filled with 10 per cent PTFE and 15 per cent graphite to offer ultra-low friction generation and Meldin 7003, with its 15 per cent MoS2 filler is used for high-vacuum and ultra-dry applications.
