Engineering Thermoplastics
(Machined Parts)
High-performance polymer parts machined to precision
Engineering thermoplastics are used to create high-precision, high-performance components through CNC machining. At Matrix Composites & Engineering, we machine a range of engineering-grade plastics including PEEK, PTFE, Nylon, PVDF and UHMWPE into components that deliver strength, stability, and chemical resistance in critical applications.
Machining allows us to create bespoke polymer parts with tight tolerances, making this process ideal for low- to medium-volume production, prototyping, or specialised applications.
Machined engineering thermoplastics deliver precision-fit, corrosion-resistant components with exceptional stability. These are ideal for mission-critical applications across industrial and energy sectors.
KEY BENEFITS
Tight Dimensional Tolerances
Ideal for custom components requiring precision fits.
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Suitable for aggressive chemicals, solvents, and water chemistries.
High Mechanical Strength
Withstands pressure, wear, and thermal cycling.
Thermal Stability
Performs in high-temperature environments (up to 250°C depending on material).
Low Friction and Wear
Reduces abrasion and extends service life in moving parts.
Versatile Machining
Enables custom shapes, pockets, threads, and sealing surfaces.

APPLICATIONS
Machined engineering plastics are ideal for small-batch, high-performance parts requiring strength and stability:
- Seals, valve seats, and bushings for high-pressure or chemically aggressive systems.
- Structural or support components in instrumentation and defence assemblies.
- Wear pads and rollers for mining or mechanical systems.
- Insulating and non-metallic parts for electronics, sensors, and fluid systems.
- Precision manifolds, spacers, and fittings in industrial and subsea equipment.
