01 The characteristics of this material are as follows:

High temperature resistance: long-term temperature resistance, short-term temperature resistance above 300 degrees.

Chemical resistance: Resistant to most organic and inorganic chemicals, only soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid.

Hydrolysis resistance: resistant to hot steam at 250 degrees.

Wear resistance: excellent tribological properties, low friction coefficient.

Flame retardant: UL94 V0 natural flame retardant, low smoke and low toxic gas release.

Fatigue resistance: high fatigue resistance, suitable for replacing metals.

Non-toxic: FDA compliant and biocompatible.

Radiation resistance: No embrittlement problem under high radiation intensity.

Based on the above characteristics, this type of product has a wide range of application cases and prospects in many industries such as aviation, automobiles, petrochemicals, composite materials, machinery, consumer goods, semiconductors, and medical care.
