Our team of polymer scientists, engineers, and technicians has extensive experience in the field of polymer science. It is this wealth of expertise and our culture of innovation that have allowed Zeus extrusion technology to continue to advance in the medical and industrial industries. With more than 40 years of experience with plastics, Zeus has become the internationally recognized leader in the design and production of high-performance polymer extrusions using the following materials (or resins):
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Lowest coefficient of friction of any polymer Extremely broad working temperature range Maximum working temperature 500° F FEP (Fluorinatedethylenepropylene) More transparent than PTFE Better gas and vapor permeability properties than PTFE Maximum working temperature 400° F PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) Higher continuous service temperature than FEP Melt processible - so it can be processed in longer continuous lengths than PTFE Maximum working temperature 500° F PVDF (Polyvinylidene Flouride) Excellent chemical resistance High level of purity Maximum working temperature 235° F THV (Tetrafluoroethylene, Hexafluoropropylene and Vinylidene Fluoride) The most flexible fluoropolymer available Highest degree of optical clarity ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene) Excellent impact resistance Good resistance to stress cracking ECTFE (Chloro Trifluoro Ethylene / Ethylene Copolymer) Ultra low permeability Superior durability
Absorv™ - bioabsorbables Aeos™ - ePTFE Electrospun polymers
PET (Polyethylene Terepthalate Polyester) UV resistant Extremely strong
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) High temperature performance Extremely high tensile strength Maximum working temperature 482° F
Nylon (Nylon 6/6, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, Pebax) Good chemical resistance Wide range of flexibility
Polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE, LDPE) Inherent lubricity Excellent chemical resistance
