FiKumer®

Machinable Thermoplastics


FiKumer® Thermoplastics – Precision and Versatility in Machining

Thermoplastics are plastics that soften when heated and can be shaped into virtually any desired form when force is applied.
Upon cooling, they solidify again into a rigid, dimensionally stable material without altering their chemical structure.

By carefully selecting the material, products with different properties can be manufactured. FiKumer® thermoplastics are ideal for extrusion into tubes or rods and for machining via turning or milling.

This allows for the creation of precise and complex geometries – tailored to customer specifications.

 

Marken-Logo - Machinable Thermoplastics – FiKumer<sup>®</sup>
Under the brand name FiKumer®, the Fietz Group manufactures products made from high-performance and high-temperature thermoplastics. These materials, specially selected by Fietz, offer exceptional mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, and outstanding chemical resistance. Even under extreme operating conditions, FiKumer® components meet the highest standards of precision, durability, and functionality.



Why choose components made from a FiKumer® material for your application?

Outstanding mechanical strength

components retain their shape and stability even under high loads

High temperature resistance

ideal for applications in hot or thermally fluctuating environments

Excellent chemical resistance

reliable against aggressive media and environmental influences

Precise formability in turning or milling processes

enables complex geometries and tight tolerances



Typical Applications of FiKumer®

FiKumer® is the choice for customers who require durable, high-performance, and technically sophisticated turned or milled plastic products.
High-quality thermoplastics from the FiKumer® material family are used wherever high mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical requirements exist.

FiKumer® materials are ideal for use as ball seat seals in the fluid industry, as plain bearings in mechanical engineering, as components in sensor technology, in cooling systems in the automotive industry, or as insulators for the electronics industry – to name just a few applications.
The range of applications for FiKumer® materials is extremely diverse.
