![PEEK Resin - Vestakeep®]( "PEEK Resin - Vestakeep®")
PEEK Resin - Vestakeep®
PEEK Resin & Shapes - Vestakeep® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) made by Evonik Industries AG has all the properties associated with PEEK, including:
- Thermal index up to 500°F
- Chemical inertness
- Inherently low smoke and smoke toxicity
- Good electrical properties
- Excellent sliding friction
- Compounds with HDT up to 600°F
Vestakeep® PEEK offers superior elongation, ductility, and impact properties which offers advantages to the machinist as well as the OEM. Tougher, less notch sensitive material is easier to machine. Higher resilience resists parts cracking under load and around threaded features which can mean lower part field failures.
Vestakeep® PEEK also is accepted in the semiconductor process industry due to very low out-gassing and extremely low trace metals like sodium.
Vestakeep® PEEK often replaces metals to reduce weight, eliminate corrosion, reduce system cost, and improve part reliability in a wide number of industries. Vestakeep® PEEK meets many specifications including: FDA compliant for food contact, is UL registered, and on a lot-to-lot basis Mil Spec 46183. Call Professional Plastics for more information on medical grade resins.
VESTAKEEP® PEEK Resin is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that can be melt processed by Injection Molding, Compression Molding, and Extrusion. Professional Plastics VESTAKEEP® PEEK Resins for Injection-Molding & Compression Molding. PEEK plastic is best known for the following properties: Chemical & environmental inertness, Heat resistance, High heat deflection temperature, Dimensional stability due to low water absorption, High hardness & abrasion resistance, Good strength at elevated temperatures, Good electrical properties, Good radiation resistance & Inherent flame resistance.

PET Film Qualifying Questions
Professional Plastics offers Melinex and Mylar brand PET films direct from Dupont Teijin Films. This is a huge product line with easily 50+ types of product.
Before submitting inquiries, it helps to understand the following information:
- What thickness do you need?
- How is it being used (i.e., what kind of part are you making with it) ?
- Do you need a surface-treament on one side or both sides of the material?
Surface-treaments typically fall into two areas:
- Slip (to prevent material from sticking to itself)
- Adhesion (to promote bonding of other chemistries to the PET)
Adhesion types typically fall into these categories:
- Ink Adhesion - there are different pretreats for UV, solvent and digital inks
- Coating Adhesion (for hardcoats or erasa-board type applications)
- Adhesive Adhesion (for pressure-sensitive laminating)
We also need to know the Put-Up (Sheet or Roll), Size (Thickness, Width & Length and/or Weight) and Annual Usage ?

Photo Staging Boxes, Light Boxes & Diffusers - Do it yourself & save.
Acrylic and Lexan Polycarbonate Light Diffusing materials are available from Professional Plastics.
These plastic light diffusers give you soft, natural light... while flash gives you harsh, hard-edged light -- and rude, dark shadows. In your studio, diffusion will give you the professional look. The diffuser hangs between the light and the subject.
Acrylic is also used for plexiglass light boxes. You can make a light box for less than you can buy one for, and make it the size you need rather than settling for whatever size you can find. A light box can be used to make a back-lit sign for a shop window, display transparencies, or trace graphics or text onto a layer over them.
Photo Tents & Staging Boxes can be made by anyone from Acrylic or PVC Plastics.. These stages can help you take photographs that will show full detail and accurate color in a soft natural lighting environment with no distracting shadows or annoying glare. Creating a detachable light hood will softed diffused surround lighting from daylight corrected fluorescent bulbs and an acrylic light diffuser panel. The interior should be made using a bright white reflective plastic which helps light the object being photographed while eliminating distracting shadows. The studio should utilize both White and Black backdrops.

![Plastic Vacuum Forming]( "Plastic Vacuum Forming")
Plastic Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming (also known as thermoforming or pressure-forming) is a way to make thin plastic products by heating a plastic sheet until it is soft, then lowering the plastic sheet over a pattern at the same time the air is withdrawn from between the plastic and the pattern. When the air is withdrawn, a vacuum is created, and the plastic sheet is pressed to the pattern by atmospheric pressure. Vacuum forming typically makes "one-sided" or "shell" type parts.
During the vacuum forming process, a sheet of heated plastic material is placed over a male or female mold. The mold then moves towards the sheet and presses against it to create a seal. Next, the application of a vacuum draws out the air between the mold and the sheet so that the plastic conforms to the mold exactly. This is accomplished through venting holes in the mold that are joined to vacuum lines. The mold also has a water cooling system integrated into it that brings the temperature of the plastic to the set temperature needed. When the curing temperature is reached and the piece is formed, air blows back into the mold and separates the new part from the mold.
Vacuum forming services produce plastic parts for various industries, such as the food, cosmetic, medical, electronics, entertainment, household products, toys, athletic equipment, appliance, automotive, office supplies and clothing industries.
Applications:
"Blister" and "bubble" display packaging, cases, aircraft components, cabinets, compartments, instrument trays, instrument panels, food trays, tubs, containers, bathtubs, hot tubs and spas, shower liners, props.
