High-Temperature Plastics for Long-Lasting Performance

Today more than ever automotive OEMs and their suppliers are working with Solvay Advanced Polymers. As the maker of more plastics with more performance, Solvay offers a broad range of high-performance and ultra-performance plastics with a proven track record of replacing metal in demanding automotive applications.

Torlon® PAI – High strength and excellent wear resistance.
KetaSpire® PEEK – Very good wear resistance.
AvaSpire® PAEK – Very good wear resistance. More cost effective than PEEK
Amodel® PPA – Good wear resistance. Most cost effective.
