Ultem ® is a high-strength amorphous polymer with excellent heat and flame resistance, (carrying a flammability rating of 94-V-0) with little smoke output. Furthermore, it performs continuously to 340° F, making it superior to commodity plastics such as Nylon and Delrin®.

Sentinel Plastics Ltd is a well-established Engineering Plastics Supplier CNC Machining and Plastic Fabrication company based in Cradley Heath in the West Midlands.

Being more expensive, Engineering Plastics are produced in lower quantities and tend to be used for low-volume applications.

Engineering Plastics have gradually replaced traditional Engineering Materials such as wood or metal in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in weight/strength and other properties. Engineering Plastics are much easier to manufacture, especially in complicated shapes.

A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening Plastic, is a Plastic material, a polymer, that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling.

Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymer chains associate through intermolecular forces, which weaken rapidly with increased temperature, yielding a viscous liquid. Thus, thermoplastics may be reshaped by heating and are typically used to produce parts by various polymer processing techniques.
