VICTREX® T-Series™ Polymer

Victrex plc has introduced new T-Series, a range of proprietary polymer blends featuring polybenzimidazole (PBI). This innovative new product series is designed to perform in the most demanding applications requiring high thermal, strength, and wear resistance.

Victrex has signed a licensee agreement with PBI Performance Products, Inc., the manufacturer of Celazole® PBI and original developer of the T-Series technology, to manufacturer, sell, and market these products under the name VICTREX T-Series worldwide, excluding Japan. Victrex will develop market applications and provide sales and technical support for the injection moldable thermoplastic.

Initially comprised of three patented grades, TU-60, TL-60, TF-60V, the new T-Series products expand the current mechanical and tribological capability of Victrex`s existing products with enhanced stiffness, wear, hardness, and temperature performance that are made possible with the blending of VICTREX PEEK polymer and Celazole PBI. T-Series polymers are a great replacement for metals, and non-melt processing high temperature plastics.

T-Series PEEK polymers advantage:

• Excellent wear and strength at high temperatures for long-lasting components
  
• Excellent thermal insulator (does not melt)
  
• Excellent hardness (25% Rockwall A Scale)
  
• Creep resistant (up to 30% better than other Victrex offerings)
  
• Increased design and processing flexibility
  
• Superior chemical resistance versus metals and other high performance polymers
  
• High purity and does not outgas
  
• Naturally opaque
