Trading Conditions for High-Temperature Resistant Folding Containers

What is high temperature plastic?

High temperature plastics are classified into amorphous and crystalline materials, with crystalline plastics offering superior mechanical strength, stiffness up to their glass transition temperature (Tg), lower friction, and excellent chemical resistance, making them suitable for industrial applications.

What temperature can plastic withstand?

The highest temperature plastic is Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Plastic, which has a melting point of 620°F (327°C) and maintains its strength at temperatures as low as -450°F (-268°C). Can plastic withstand 300 degrees?

Why should you use Smithers for temperature controlled packaging testing?

Smithers' combination of mechanical and thermal testing capabilities and experience provides an invaluable, independent resource for users of temperature controlled packaging. Our experts regularly conduct insulated shipping container testing or thermal package testing for the cold chain industry.

Why are high-temperature plastics important?

Whether it’s the precision machining prowess of Atlas Fibre or the elite performance of PEEK and PAI, the common thread is clear: high-temperature plastics are pivotal in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and their strategic selection is central to the success of applications that operate in the heat of the moment.
