Fietz materials in the chemical industry
In the chemical industry, Fietz uses not only PTFE (FiKumer®) – which is widely used in the chemical industry due to its exceptional chemical and thermal resistance – but also many other thermoplastics.
Materials from the FiMasol® portfolio, in particular, are especially suitable for the chemical industry, depending on the medium, temperature, mechanical stress, and regulatory requirements.
Fietz also offers targeted product solutions made from high-temperature plastics (e.g., PEEK) that are mechanically robust and chemically resistant. The Fietz Group specializes in manufacturing these materials using injection molding and machining processes.
The companies of the Fietz Group have over 50 years of experience working with the automotive industry. A high degree of vertical integration and short production chains ensure high reliability and flexibility, while also delivering unbeatable competitiveness. In-house development and research, as well as collaboration with universities and institutes, enable fast and forward-looking product solutions. Fietz fluoropolymers, high-performance thermoplastics (FiMasol®), and high-tech polyurethanes (FiPur®) are precisely tailored to your application. The FiLomer® material portfolio of high-performance elastomers further rounds out the offering. Modern and energy-efficient manufacturing. A high proportion of self-generated electricity through photovoltaics and the use of waste heat for building temperature control result in a low CO₂ footprint (Scope 1&2) across the companies of the Fietz Group. Our manufacturing is subject to strict quality standards and a certified quality management system. This allows us to guarantee maximum product integrity and traceability – a critical factor for Tier 1 suppliers to OEMs.
