BIEGLO High-Performance Polymers is adding new ultra-high temperature (UHT) resistant products to its portfolio.
Well known for the high-performance polymer products and a strong player offering materials positioned at the top of the polymer pyramid, BIEGLO now adds Polybenzimidazole (PBI) and UHT thermosetting polyimide (PI-s) to its established product families.

BIEGLO extends into UHT polymers
PBI is one of the highest performing thermoplastic materials. It offers heat resistance as well as excellent mechanical strength. The Dexnyl PBI shapes have a heat-deflection temperature (HDT) of 410°C, affirming super-high heat resistant properties. Along with strong mechanical properties, PBI also possesses outstanding chemical resistance, thus making it ideally suitable for sealing, glide-ring, bearing and various insulation applications.
Thermosetting PI-s are the highest temperature resistant polymers commercially available. BIEGLO can now offer PI-s products with HDT as high as 500°C. These ultra-high heat resistant products, in addition to the already available PI products from manufacturers such as Mitsui Chemical Inc. (AURUM) and Saint-Gobain (MELDIN), extend the PI-portfolio of BIEGLO.
The growing demand for high-performance polymers in industrial processes led BIEGLO to focus on the high temperature segment. Besides PBI, TPI and PI-s, BIEGLO is acknowledged in the plastics industry for its PEEK and polyamideimide (PAI). These materials stand out as the niche in the world of polymers and find their demanding applications in the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, chemical, electronics and food-processing industries.
BIEGLO endeavours to offer their range of special HPP products to its global customers by running web-shops such as PEEK-shop.de, POLYIMIDE-shop.de, PAI-shop.de and PBI-shop.de, where information regarding ‘standardised’ HPP products can be found.
