PEEK is a colorless organic thermoplastic polymer in the Polyaryletherketone. PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties that are retained at high temperatures. Some grades have an operating temperature of up to 2500C. It is highly resistant to thermal degradation, and resistant to attack by both organic and aqueous environments. It has high resistance to biodegradation. PEEK is used to fabricate items demanding applications. PEEK is used in medical implants, for example in creating a partial replacements skull in neurosurgical applications. PEEK offers a combination of superlative properties that allow PEEK to effectively replace metal in some of the most severe end-use environments.

Polyphenylene sulfide is a resin bonded polymer coating with outstanding resistance to chemical reactivity and thermal degradation. Combined with PTFE, PPS produces a hybrid coating that can be applied to substrate with low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance. PPS is a partially crystalline, high-temperature performance polymer that has a high melting point of approximately 2800C, strong chemical resistance and is inherently flame retardant.
Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene that shares PTFE's chemical resistance and useful low friction properties, but is more easily formable.
