Mechanical Strength

More than ten times higher impact strength and damage tolerance compared to thermosets.

Text

Tailored Performance

Consistent quality and tight tolerance contribute to predictable, tailorable performance including localised reinforcements.

Text

Weight Savings

Fatigue resistance and strength are comparable to metals with weight savings up to 60% lighter compared to metals and metal alloys.

Chemical Resistance

Greater durability in harsh chemical environments compared to metals.

Innovative composite solutions for demanding applications

Enhanced application performance, the need for reliability and durability combined with the need for reduced manufacturing costs and speed to market are key drivers in composite application development. These trends are supporting the proliferation of continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites.
Forms to parts

VICTREX AE™ 250 LMPAEK composite material technology is being adopted in aerospace applications as metal and thermoset replacements due to the increased need for aerospace composite technologies to provide faster throughput, better performance, higher mechanical properties, and cost reductions.

Forms to parts

Victrex has worked in partnership with Magma Global to develop PEEK composite capability, expertise, and solutions, which has enabled Magma to create m-pipe®, a reliable subsea pipe with greater durability, long-term reliability, and lighter weight for jumpers, risers, and flowlines.

Forms to parts

Victrex’s medical company, Invibio, is currently the only biomaterial solutions provider with the capabilities to commercialize PEEK-based trauma devices. Invibio works with its partners to overcome design and manufacturing challenges by offering comprehensive assistance, including design for manufacturing, prototyping, validation, and production services.
