Case Studies: High Temperature Applications

	Liquid Chemical Pump The Sotera^® Chemical Transfer System is used for transferring and metering agricultural pesticides and industrial fluids.
	Surgical Head Restraint System Performance Plastics took on the challenge to convert the head restraint assembly from titanium to plastic.
	Disposable Pump AC Engineering has taken pump technology to a new level with the development of a sanitary disposable pump. AC solved these challenges with their scroll pump by incorporating high performance thermoplastics from RTP Company.
	Lead-Free Soldering This Molded Rotor component by Accumold meets the demanding high temperature requirements for lead-free soldering.
	Conveyor Rollers Shuttleworth Inc. supplies material handling conveyors to customers throughout the world and to industries as varied as their locations.
	Encapsulated Capacitor In some cases, small jobs demand enormous responses. When Accumold of Ankeny, IA, took on the design of a new capacitor housing for a leading hearing aid manufacturer, they faced and met many challenges.
	Food Service Bases for Hospitals Aladdin Temprite's Insul-Plus™ base is the first of its kind constructed from high-impact thermoplastic for superb performance and durability.
	Wafer Carrier Modern automated wafer handling processes have increased the need for tighter tolerances on wafer carriers. Entegris, Inc., is the first company to make significant changes to the original linear wafer carriers developed in the early 1970's.
	Copier Bushing In early 1997, a Xerox team was formed to identify a bushing material that extends design life, prevents customer dissatisfaction, and eliminates excessive service costs for a Xerox copier line.
	Clean Room Conveyors As an international engineering company, Shuttleworth, Inc., produces the finest quality in-process conveyor automation and material handling machinery.
	Cable Guard & Coil Spring Recent advances in tooling and equipment have made it possible to extrude high performance engineering thermoplastic compounds and alloys with precision approaching that of injection molding.
	Gas Cylinder Hooks New, high-pressure aluminum compressed gas cylinders are finished in a rigorous washing, coating and curing system. The cylinders suspend from a conveyor by plug hooks that provide a grounding path for the powder coating.
	Automotive A/C Compressor When Visteon Automotive Systems began manufacturing scroll compressors for automotive air conditioning systems, it chose a PEEK™-based specialty compound for the compressor's tip seals.
	Electrical Connectors Electrical connectors in stage and studio lighting systems take a beating every time they are on the job. Handling currents ranging from 20 to 400 amps, they must be exceptionally resistant to heat.
	End Cap for Printer Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester, NY combines insert molding technology with an RTP Company high temperature specialty compound.
	EGR Sensor Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) sensors are vital to maintaining proper emissions on vehicles.
	LCD Projector Sarif, Inc. of Vancouver, WA is a company based on innovative thinking. Sarif was established in 1994 to manufacture small, high-resolution active matrix LCDs for use in projectors and virtual reality headgear.
	Tiltrotor Aircraft Components The Osprey "tiltrotor" aircraft typifies the innovation and creativity common to the aerospace industry. The V-22 was originally developed in response to a directive from the Department of Defense in 1981.
	Copier Bushings Fuser roller bushings used in various name brand copiers perform at temperatures of up to 392 degrees F and speeds from 10-350 rpm.
	Printer Components The Tektronix® Phaser® 350 color printer presents numerous material demands. Two primary requirements are high heat resistance and structural integrity.
	Aircraft Assemblies PEEK™ compounds are an excellent choice for high temperature aerospace, electronic and automotive applications.
	Aircaft Hinge Bracket An RTP Company glass fiber-reinforced PEEK™ compound is specified for the hinge bracket assemblies of overhead storage compartments in Boeing 767 airplanes.
	Sample Injector Valve Component A PEEK™ compound, using the material's outstanding combination of strength, dimensional stability and inertness, is the material of choice for a scientific instrument application.
	Food Container Satisfying each customer's specific needs by developing "tailor-made" compounds from a variety of base resins and fillers is a specialty at RTP Company.
