Introduction 

Goodfellow is well known as a specialist supplier of 

small to medium size quantities of metals, alloys, 

ceramics, polymers and other materials to meet the 

research, development and specialist production 

requirements of science and industry worldwide. 

We realise that "small" means different things to 

different people, but we consider small to mean any 

quantity from a few grammes to a few kilos. 

Goodfellow offers two distinct services to meet the 

requirements of our customers: 

. The first meets the needs of our customers who 

need small quantities of products from our 

standard range of materials within 24-48 hours. 

. The second service is for those who require 

larger quantities or further processing of our 

standard products or who need an item which 

falls within our general area of supply expertise. 

The range of materials offered by Goodfellow is 

extensive, as are the forms in which the various 

products are available. This Catalogue provides a 

detailed overview of our standard products which are 

available from stock. Full details of all of these items, 

including prices and technical information, can be 

found in our web Catalogue at www.goodfellow.com. 

Materials 

Metals and Alloys 

Goodfellow supplies virtually all of the pure metals 

from Aluminium to Zirconium as well as a 

comprehensive range of alloys. Most are available 

in a variety of forms, including rod, wire and foil. The 

Catalog details those materials which are available 

as standard products from stock. Custom-made 

items are also available, so please contact us if 

you are unable to identify the item you require. 

Ceramics 

The ceramic materials offered by Goodfellow have 

been carefully chosen, and include both the 

established as well as more recently developed 

products. All are available as either standard or 

custom-made products in a variety of forms and 

sizes. The Catalogue details those items which are 

available from stock. For ceramic components made 

to customer drawings, our Ceramic and Glass 

Division would be delighted to help. Please visit 

www.goodfellow-ceramics.com for further 

information. 

Polymers 

The range of polymers supplied by Goodfellow is 

broad and includes both the familiar as well as some 

of the more unusual or recently developed materials. 

The Catalog details those items which are available 

from stock; please contact us if you are unable to find 

the item you specifically require. 

Compounds & Intermetallics 

Goodfellow can supply aluminides, borides and 

silicides as well as other intermetallics and 

compounds. The majority of these items are made 

to order and the Catalog details those which are 

available. Please contact us with details of your 

requirements. 

Composites 

Some examples of these materials are listed in the 

Catalog. As some of these are manufactured on a 

custom-made basis, please contact us with details of 

your requirements. 

Glasses 

Goodfellow offers two distinct types of glass 

products. The first are generally silica-based and 

transparent. Generally, these products are made to 

order for customers, so we do not list them in our 

Catalog, however, they are available through the 

Goodfellow Ceramic and Glass Division. Please 

contact us with your requirements. 

The second type of glass product is commonly 

referred to as "metallic glasses" or "glassy metals". 

In contrast to crystalline metals and alloys with highly 

ordered atomic structures, these are non-crystalline 

(amorphous) metals or, more usually, alloys. Our 

Catalogue details those glassy metals which are 

available from stock; please contact us if you are 

unable to find the item you specifically require.

General Information 

Analyses 

Typical Analysis : 

Where appropriate a typical analysis is given. All 

figures are parts per million (ppm) by weight unless 

otherwise stated. It must be emphasised that this 

data is "typical" and no guarantee is given that the 

material supplied will conform to these analyses. 

The compositions shown under alloy headings are 

generally weight percent. Exceptions are the glassy 

alloys and the rare earth magnets where the 

convention of using atomic ratio is followed. 

Purity 

Purities listed are quoted with respect to total metallic 

impurities. Typical analyses may give additional 

information about likely non-metallic impurities. 

High Purity 

For materials described as High Purity, the actual 

analysis of metallic impurities will be supplied free of 

charge. For other items, an actual analysis can be 

supplied and a charge will be made for the analysis 

and for the sample used. 

If you require an analysis please tell us whether you 

require analysis of metallic impurities only or metallic 

and gaseous. Where an analysis is required the 

shipment of your order may be delayed. 

Supports 

Some items from our range of foils need to be 

supported on one side of the foil to enable both you 

and us to handle these very delicate materials. Two 

types of support can be used, the choice being 

governed by the material. Wherever possible we use 

a temporary support, a permanent support only 

being used when the material is brittle (for example 

Chromium or Manganese). 

The temporary support is Acrylic, approximately 

0.2mm thick. This may be removed by dissolving 

in 2-Propanone (Acetone). 

Our permanent support is Polyester, thickness 

0.125mm, which is hot-press laminated to one face 

of the foil. It cannot be removed without destroying 

the foil. 

Microfoil is mounted on a permanent 3.5mm 

polyester support. This support cannot be 

removed without destroying the Microfoil. 

Microleaf is mounted on a specially treated support 

which allows separation of the metal film from the 

support. Full instructions on the method of removal 

are issued with each Microleaf supplied. 

Light Tight (LT) & Not Light Tested 

(NLT) 

Light tight (LT) foils are supplied without visible 

pinholes after examination without magnification. 

Foils 0.025mm or more in thickness are supplied 

LT unless otherwise stated. 

Foils less than 0.025mm thick are normally supplied 

Not-Light Tested (NLT), and will normally contain 

pinholes but may occasionally be free from pinholes. 

Foils less than 0.025mm in thickness can often be 

supplied LT but may incur additional charges. Please 

specify if you require LT foils 

Vacuum tight 

Vacuum tight foils show no detectable leakage when 

tested with a helium mass spectrometer with a 

sensitivity of 10 -9 atm-cm 3 .s -1 . 

Continuous Lengths 

If you require material in continuous lengths please 

tell us when you place your order. Unless otherwise 

specified, we reserve the right to supply in more than 

one length. 

Technical Data and Information 

All information and technical data are given as a 

guide only. Although every effort has been made to 

ensure that the information is correct, no warranty is 

given as to its completeness or accuracy. 

Tolerances 

For details of our standard tolerances, please refer to 

the Product Description section. In many cases, 

closer tolerances are available but may be subject to 

an extra charge. If you have any special 

requirements it is important that you tell us at the 

time of ordering. This includes special tolerances, 

dimensional uniformity or any other special 

requirement which you may have (for example 

edge finish, packaging, labelling etc.). Please 

indicate precisely what is required and we shall do 

our best to meet your specification.

Germanium 

Ge 

Discovered in C.A. Winkler at Freiberg, Germany. 

Germanium is a silvery white brittle metalloid member of the carbon group of elements, its physical properties being 

similar to those of silicon, the element which precedes it in the group. Other elements within the carbon group are 

relatively common, but germanium is found only in trace amounts in some coals and as a minor component in some ores, 

the principle one being argyrodite, a double sulphide of silver and germanium (the mineral from which germanium was 

first isolated). It has an abundance within the Earth’s crust of 1.8 ppm and the element is produced by reduction of the 

oxide, ultra-high purity material being obtained by zone refining (a process in which the element is formed into a rod which 

is then heated at one end to produce a narrow molten zone. The heater is moved along the length of the rod so that the 

molten zone travels from one end of the rod to the other. Impurities are more soluble in the molten metal than in the solid 

and thus concentrate in the liquid zone as it moves to one end of the rod). 

Germanium is stable in air and water and is unaffected by alkalis and acids, with the exception of nitric acid. It is a poor 

conductor of electricity but has exceptional properties as a semiconductor material and it is in this area where germanium 

is primarily used. However, other applications for the material include its use as an alloying element in the production of 

specific alloys and as an addition to glass in the manufacture of infrared devices.

Silicon 

Si 

Silicon was discovered in 1824 by J.J. Berzelius in Stockholm, Sweden. 

After carbon, silcon is the most abundant element on earth, the abundance being 277,000 ppm. It is generally present as 

a silicate, these being found in many rocks, clays and soils. Silicon is obtained by reducing silica (sand, SiO 2 ), with 

carbon. Further purification of the element for applications requiring high purity material (e.g. semi conductor devices) is 

achieved by zone refining, the resulting purity being better than 1:10 9 . Silicon exists in two allotropic forms; brown silicon 

is a powder, whereas crystalline (metallic) silicon is grey and it is the latter which is more widely used. Bulk silicon is 

unreactive towards oxygen, water, acids (excluding HF), but is soluble in hot alkalis. 

Silicon has many applications in various industries; for example, ultra high purity silicon is used in the semiconductor 

industry as a result of its semiconducting properties. Silicon is also used as an alloying element in the manufacture of 

certain alloys (e.g. ferrosilicon, an alloy of iron and silicon which is used to introduce silicon into steel and cast iron). It is 

also used in the manufacture of glass.

Tungsten

176-182-493 300 x 300 mm POA 


Tungsten was isolated in 1783 by J.J. and F. Ehuijar in Vergara, Sweden. 

Tungsten metal is lustrous and silvery white in colour, and does not occur naturally (it has an abundance of 1 ppm in the 

earth’s crust). It is found in the ore Wolframite, a tungstate of iron and manganese, (FeMn)WO 4 , which is converted to 

the trioxide and then reduced to the metal by reduction in hydrogen (carbon cannot be used as the very stable carbide 

would result). Tungsten metal is relatively inert, resisting attack by oxygen, acids and alkalis, although it will react with 

fused, oxidising alkali media. It has the highest melting point of all metals and, when pure, it can be worked with relative 

ease; however, the presence of impurities renders tungsten extremely brittle and, therefore, difficult to fabricate. 

The high melting point of tungsten makes it suitable for use as electric filaments (e.g. in electric light bulbs). It is also the 

basis of a range of alloys containing tungsten, copper and nickel which are used for radiation shielding as they provide a 

50% increase in density compared to lead. Tungsten and its alloys also find uses in military applications (e.g. armour 

and shells), as well as counter-balance materials. Tungsten carbide powder (with possible additions of titanium and 

tantalum carbides) along with nickel or cobalt powders, are compressed and sintered to produce cemented carbides. 

These products are used in place of high speed steel to form the tip of cutting and drilling tools, or for parts which will be 

subjected to heavy useage.

Alumina 

Al 2 O 3 

Minerals containing Alumina represent some 15% of the earth’s crust. It is therefore an abundant material and virtually 

inexhaustable, unlike raw materials for many alloys developed for special applications. The combination of high thermal 

conductivity, low thermal expansion and high compressive strength leads to good thermal shock resistance, so Alumina 

is suited to furnace use as crucibles, tubes and thermocouple sheaths. High purity Alumina can be used up to 1700C and 

is gas tight up to 1300C. Few chemicals attack Alumina. Alumina also shows good electrical insulation at high 

temperatures, good wear resistance and high hardness, making it suitable for components such as ball valves, piston 

pumps and deep drawing tools. Diamond tools are needed to machine or grind Alumina. 

Remarkably, continuous filament yarns have been made from alumina with reasonable but not complete success and 

two, similar, versions are available from Goodfellow. They are both much less flexible than normal continuous filament 

yarns and are rather "hairy" i.e. have broken filaments - especially the FP version.

Alumina/Silica 

Al 2 O 3 96/SiO 2 4 - Saffil 1 

Common Brand Names : Saffil 1 

Saffil 1 is produced as a fibre and was developed for thermal insulation at higher temperatures. Saffil 1 fibre products 

such as the Non-Woven Fabric and Sheet stocked by Goodfellow are widely used for lining high temperature furnaces, 

with good performance up to 1600C. Saffil 1 fibres show very little volume change at this temperature, as well as showing 

good strength and flexibility. Saffil 1 products are low weight materials, highly resistant to thermal shock and can rapidly 

reach high temperatures. They are suitable for high vacuum conditions and are resistant to acids and steam. Nonwoven 

fabrics are similar to papers, being flexible and resilient with smooth surfaces. Typical applications include 

catalyst support, filtration and furnace or mould lining. Sheets (often called Tiles) are light, open rather fragile items 

produced by vacuum pressing, often used as preforms for impregnation to make composites. The fibre orientation is 

random planar parallel to the flat faces. A wider range of volume fractions can be supplied to special order. 

The technical data provided is for the Saffil 1 fibres that make up the Sheet and Non-Woven Fabric.

This material has a high electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. It is therefore suited to the high performance 

electronic industry, for such applications as integrated circuit packages and heat sinks. Compared with Beryllia in such 

applications, it is non-toxic and has about half the thermal expansion coefficient. It is translucent to infrared and visible 

wavelengths (0.5 to 3 mm), and can be used as window material for infrared and radar. It has a high purity and can be 

used as crucible material for molten metals at high temperatures.

Aluminium Nitride - Machineable 

AlN / BN 

Common Brand Names : Shapal TM -M soft, Shapal TM Hi-M soft 

Shapal TM -M soft is a high purity, machineable ceramic with high strength and high thermal conductivity. Although the 

thermal conductivity is not as high as Aluminium Nitride, it is still 50 times that of Machineable Glass Ceramic. Like 

Aluminium Nitride, applications include heat sinks and electronically insulating components for the high power electronic 

industry, and crucibles for molten metals. Shapal-M 1 also has the advantage that much more complex shapes may be 

used. It may be machined by using carbide tools and is resistant to acids and bases.

Alumino-silicate Glass 

SiO 2 57/Al 2 O 3 36/CaO/MgO/BaO 

Porous ceramics can be used as filters and for the controlled release of volatile chemicals. In this material, Alumino- 

Silicate particles are found in a glassy matrix. The resulting ceramic is used to remove solids from gases and liquids, and 

liquids such as oil and water from gases. This grade removes particles down to 30 microns in diameter. It has a high 

cross breaking strength and so is able to withstand high differential pressure. It is resistant to hot and cold acids, except 

hydrofluoric acid and acid fluorides, and is also resistant to alkaline solutions up to pH9, and hot gases up to 900C.

Beryllia 

BeO 99.5 

Ceramic – Aluminium Nitride - Machineable 

Beryllia has been produced commercially for over fifty years. It shows a high thermal conductivity, yet also has a high 

volume resistivity and used typically as an electronically insulating heat sink. Beryllia has a high dielectric strength and a 

low dielectric constant. It exhibits good thermal shock resistance and is chemically stable up to 2000C. This leads to use 

for crucibles and thermocouple tubes. It has a low density, high strength and high hardness and is transparent to 

microwaves. The processing of this highly toxic material has been controlled for 30 years, although it may be handled 

safely provided the correct procedures are followed.

Boron Carbide - Hot-pressed 

B 4 C 

After Diamond, Cubic Boron Nitride and Boron Oxide, Hot pressed Boron Carbide has the highest hardness known. Its 

main applications make use of its excellent wear resistance and high strength. It has a low density but a high elastic 

modulus and high compressive strength, which leads to its use as a ballistic material. 20% of natural boron is the 10 B 

isotope, giving Boron Carbide a high neutron capture cross section. It is therefore used in neutron-absorbing 

applications, such as shielding. Boron carbide has good resistance to acids but not to alkali hydroxide melts.

Potassium Aluminosilicate 

Muscovite Mica 

Mica is a naturally occurring mineral and as such its exact composition varies between grades, as will its properties. 

Ruby Mica is the highest grade of Muscovite Mica. The name comes from the latin ’micare’, to shine or glitter. It can be 

split into thin uniform layers, down to 0.05mm. The high skill involved in such splitting results in a high cost. Mica is 

transparent, and resistant to heat, as well as being one of the best electrical insulators known. It is resistant to high 

temperatures and chemically inert to most substances.

Quartz - Fused 

SiO 2 

Silicon dioxide occurs naturally as sand or rock and when melted, the resulting product is called Fused Quartz. If the 

silicon dioxide is synthetically derived, the material is often called Fused Silica. Fused Quartz is very pure, has a high 

chemical resistance, good thermal shock resistance and is very strong in compression. The low thermal expansion 

coefficient makes it ideal for mirrors and optical flats. It is used for viewing windows, being transparent to wavelengths 

from around 0.2 to 3.5mm, insulators for electronic applications and for semi-conductor manufacturing.

Silicon Carbide 

SiC 

Common Brand Names : Nicalon 

Silicon Carbide was first prepared in the early 1800’s. It was in commercial production by 1892, as a powder for grinding 

and cutting, having a Mohs hardness of 9-10 (almost as hard as Diamond). 

Nicalon continuous multi-filament tow consists of fine filaments of ultra-fine ß-SiC crystals, giving strong particle bonding. 

This fibre has high strength and a high modulus in a high temperature atmosphere. It is oxidation resistant, with a high 

wettability and is consequently used in composites with metals, plastics and ceramics. 

A thicker monofilament, also used for composites, is also available from Goodfellow in 3 versions which differ only in their 

outer coating (used to improve adhesion to, and resist degradation by, the matrix of a composite). This monofilament is 

made by a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process around a fine tungsten wire.

Silicon Carbide - Hot-pressed 

SiC 

See also - Silicon Carbide. Hot Pressed Silicon Carbide is a high density, high strength material which has been used in 

refractory applications for many years. It is now used for a wide range of engineering applications. Hot Pressed Silicon 

Carbide can be processed to close tolerances and into fairly complex shapes. Silicon Carbide can be highly polished and 

has potential for space-based mirrors, because of its high specific strength and stiffness compared with those of glass.

Silicon Carbide - Reaction Bonded 

SiC 

Common Brand Names : REFEL F 1 

To manufacture Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSC), Silicon is infiltrated into a pre-formed silicon carbide/carbon 

powder green body which is then fired. This gives rise to around 10% free silicon, which fills the pores. The resulting 

microstructure has low porosity and a very fine grain. Shaping is normally carried out before firing, but the fired compact 

can be diamond ground to around 0.01mm tolerance. However, it is difficult to machine after firing. The material has high 

strength up to 1350C which results in its use as high temperature gas turbine components. The high hardness (harder 

than tungsten carbide) means that it is used extensively for bearings and seals. The high thermal conductivity combined 

with low thermal expansion leads to good thermal shock resistance. RBSC can tolerate a wider range of acids and alkalis 

than either tungsten carbide or alumina. Its oxidation resistance helps to give long service life in furnace applications.

Silicon Nitride - Reaction Bonded 

Si 3 N 4 

Common Brand Names : NITRASIL 1 R 

Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride is produced by nitriding compacted Silicon powder. This production route is considerably 

more cost-effective than hot-pressing. Very complex and accurate shapes can be produced, which hold their shape 

during firing. After firing, as for Hot Pressed Silicon Nitride, it can be diamond ground to tolerances as close as 0.01mm. 

Although not as strong as Hot Pressed Silicon Nitride, its strength is held up to 1400C, with long term oxidation resistance 

up to 1150C. The thermal and electrical properties of the two forms of Silicon Nitride are however very similar. This form 

finds use as supports in situations of continuous temperature cycling within ranges of up to 1000C, as well as for gas 

turbine components. Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and molten metals. 

Silicon Nitride spheres have found use as bearings in the automotive industry, as they have high wear resistance and 

have a coefficient of friction and a density much lower than steel.

Titanium Diboride 

TiB 2 

Titanium Diboride is a hard material with a high wear resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures. The high 

density, combined with the high elastic modulus and high compressive strength, have lead to its use in armour 

components. It is resistant to most chemical reagents, and has excellent wettability and stability in liquid metals such as 

Aluminium and Zinc. This, combined with its high electric conductivity, has lead to its use in Hall- He´ roult cells for 

Aluminium production. It has found uses as crucibles for molten metals.

Titanium Dioxide (or Titania) exists as the mineral Rutile, one of its three crystalline forms, but 95% of Titanium Dioxide is 

commercially produced. Having a low electrical conductivity, it is used as an electrical insulator at room temperature. 

The electrical resistance of Titanium Dioxide is sensitive to the gaseous environment, so can be used as oxygen sensors. 

Due to its high refractive index and lack of absorption of visible light, Titanium Dioxide powder is used as a white pigment 

for paints, plastics and paper. It is easy to produce at the size required (around 0.2 microns) and is stable and non-toxic. 

Current research is looking at its use as a catalyst for the elimination of nitrogen oxides in power station exhausts and at 

utilising the photocatalytic properties as a photoanode in the splitting of water.

Tungsten Carbide/Cobalt 

WC 94/Co 6 

Tungsten Carbide is a hard, brittle ceramic which, when combined with 6% to 10% Cobalt, forms a tough Cermet 

(Ceramic-Metal). This material was developed for use in cutting tools, having hard ceramic crystals of a few microns in 

size within a ductile metal matrix. The resulting material can withstand the high compressive stresses imposed during 

cutting, as well as having good wear and oxidation resistance at the high temperatures reached. Tungsten Carbide/ 

Cobalt has a high resistance to thermal shock, so is able to withstand the rapid temperature fluctuations. Also, this has 

found a use as electrodes for Electrode Discharge Machining.

Yttrium Oxide 

Y 2 O 3 

Yttrium Oxide is mainly extracted from the mineral Xenotime (YPO 4 ). Its properties include high thermal stability and 

good transparency to infrared radiation. It has an affinity for oxygen and sulphur and is used as an additive to stabilise 

Zirconia and as a sintering aid in Sialons and silicon nitride. As an optical ceramic, it transmits well in the infrared range, 

from 1 to 8 microns wavelength. The high infrared transmission, together with good resistance to erosion and thermal 

shock, makes it ideal for protection domes for infrared sensors.

Zirconia - stabilised with Magnesia 

ZrO 2 /MgO 

Zirconias partially stabilised with either Magnesia or Yttria have excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures and 

are relatively inert to hostile environments. They have good impact and thermal shock resistance and are used in 

refractory applications. Their resistance to attack by most molten metals means they are often used as crucible 

materials. Their high hardness and wear resistance lead to uses such as extrusion dies and high temperature nozzles. 

At higher temperatures they become conducting and are used as heating elements. They have also been used as 

thermal barrier coatings for gas turbine blades.

Polyamide - Nylon 4, 6 

PA 4,6 

Common Brand Names : Stanyl 

See also General information under Nylon 6 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, yellowish engineering thermoplastic that is often coloured brick red. It has 

higher crystallinity and better chemical resistance than nylon 6 or 6,6 and similar water absorption, though the associated 

dimensional change is less. Compared to other (aliphatic) nylons it has much better retention of properties at elevated 

temperatures, reportedly because of the "highly symmetrical" polymer chain and its relatively high concentration of 

amide groups (four methylene groups in both the acid and the amine segments). 

Applications are broadly similar to other nylons - engineering, electrical and electronic components particularly those 

exposed to (sustained) high temperatures.

Polyamide - Nylon 6 

PA 6 

Common Brand Names : Akulon K and F, Capron, Maranyl B, Nylacast, Orgamid, Ultramid B 

See also General Information under Nylon 6,6. 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, white engineering thermoplastic very similar to nylon 6,6 with which it is in 

many respects interchangeable. Its melt viscosity is not quite as low as 6,6 so it is generally slightly easier to process and 

often preferred for moulding. Relative to 6,6 it has somewhat higher impact strength but somewhat lower strength and 

stiffness and higher water absorption (the highest of all nylons). 

It can be monomer cast, commonly called just cast - ie.polymerised in a mould direct to a semi-fabricated shape. This 

allows the production of thick sections without voiding and gives a product with a slightly different balance of properties - 

a little stronger and stiffer, slightly reduced extensibility and impact strength. 

Its applications are similar to those of nylon 6,6.

Polyamide - Nylon 6, 6 

PA 6,6 

Common Brand Names : Akulon S, Maranyl A, Utramid A, Zytel 

General Information for ’Nylons’. 

A family of similar semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics generally synthesised from straight chain aliphatic acids 

and amines. Each particular nylon is described by one or two numbers eg nylon 6 or 6,6 where the number is the 

number of carbon atoms in the amine and acid monomers. Where a single number is used the monomer is an Alpha 

amino-acid (or its lactam) and the amide links in the polymer are all "head-to-tail". Where two numbers are used the 

monomers are a diamine and diacid and the amide links alternate "head-to-tail"/"tail-to-head". The first number refers to 

the diamine, the second to the diacid. Some nylons use aromatic monomers which are denoted by letters eg T for 

terephthalic and I for isophthalic components. 

Nylons generally are strong, tough (but notch-sensitive), rather resilient polymers with good barrier properties and high 

fatigue and abrasion resistance but high water absorption (slow in thick sections) accompanied by an increase in 

dimensions which can be as much as 3% under extreme circumstances. Nylons have good resistance to oils, greases, 

solvents and alkalis but not to acids which tend to hydrolyse them. The most common nylons are 6 and 6,6 and in the 

individual descriptions the others are described in relation to them. 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, off-white engineering thermoplastic that is the strongest and most abrasion 

resistant unreinforced aliphatic nylon with better low temperature toughness than Nylon 6 or acetal. Its very low melt 

viscosity can give industrial processing difficulties and weathering can cause embrittlement and colour change unless it 

is stabilised or protected. Available with a wide range of fillers , notably glass fibre which gives a marked increase in 

stiffness and solid and liquid (oil) lubricants. Super-tough grades are also available whose impact properties and low 

notch sensitivity are amongst the best of all engineering thermoplastics. 

Applications include mainly engineering components eg gears, bearings, nuts, bolts, rivets and wheels and power tool 

casings and rocker box covers. Widely used as monofilament for brushes etc and fibre, notable for its resilience and 

high abrasion resistance, for apparel, carpet and industrial end-uses.

General Description: The addition of glass fibre to nylons leads to very significant increases in strength, stiffness, heat 

distortion temperatures, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability, though properties can be anisotropic - including 

mould shrinkage, leading to potential distortion. In the case of nylon 6,6 - unlike many polymers - this is achieved without 

loss of impact strength, though elongation to break is, as usual, reduced very substantially. Glass-reinforced nylon is 

commonly coloured black. 

Applications include many engineering components including "under-bonnet" automobile parts and most components 

on wind-surfers.

General Description : (See also General Information under Nylon 6,6) A semi-crystalline, white engineering 

thermoplastic very similar to nylon 11 whose properties are generally slightly superior. Of all the generic unmodified 

nylons, it has the lowest water absorption, heat resistance and strength. Relative to nylon 6 and 6,6, they both have 

much lower water absorption (and hence improved dimensional stability and electrical properties) and higher cost. They 

also have lower impact resistance and somewhat better UV resistance. 

Applications include precision engineering components and components that need low temperature toughness.

Common Brand Names : Kerimid, Torlon 1 

General Description : Amorphous, strongly coloured, high performance polymers with linear predominantly aromatic 

molecules of high thermal stability. They are normally melt-processed but, after post-curing, are infusible in their fully 

finished form. If semi-fabricated items are machined, repeated post-curing is recommended if maximum properties are to 

be achieved. They have very good high temperature properties (approaching those of polyimides), good wear and

Polyaramid 

Polymetaphenylene isophthalamide 

Common Brand Names : Nomex 

General Description : An infusible, wholly aromatic polymer that can strictly be described as nylon I,I - but rarely is. 

Manufactured only as a fibre (by solution spinning), it has a very high thermal stability and temperature and flame 

resistance. In contrast to its chemical isomer Kevlar 1 , its tensile properties are similar to those of normal textile fibres 

but its hydrolysis resistance in hot wet conditions is better (than Kevlar’s). Its radiation resistance is also very good. 

The fibre is converted into a number of fibre-based forms, of which the following are available from Goodfellow’s stock : 

calendered and uncalendered papers, pressboards of three different densities and honeycomb. The last is made from 

Nomex 1 paper coated in a phenolic resin. Other forms, eg felts, can be available as special orders. 

Applications include protective clothing (e.g. for firefighters and racing drivers), process equipment and insulation and 

filtration media.

Polybenzimidazole 

PBI 

Common Brand Names : Celazole 

General Description : An infusible, black high performance polymer with a wholly aromatic molecule of high thermal 

stability. Semi-fabricated items are made, normally by the polymer manufacturer, by powder sintering processes. 

It has excellent high temperature properties - probably on balance the best of any commercially available polymer - and is 

very expensive. It is strong, stiff, very hard, has a particularly high strength in and recovery from compression and a CTE 

similar to that of aluminium. It has good chemical resistance resisting many harsh chemical environments better than 

many other high performance polymers, but is attacked by polar aprotic solvents and, at elevated temperatures, by strong 

aqueous acids and (to a lesser extent) alkalis. Despite absorbing (slowly) a high percentage of water at saturation, it is 

stable to hydrolysis and resists high pressure steam.

Polybutylene terephthalate 

PBT 

Common Brand Names : Celanex, Orgater, Valox 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, white or off-white polyester similar in both composition and properties to 

polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). It has somewhat lower strength and stiffness than PET, is a little softer but has higher 

impact strength and very similar chemical resistance. As it crystallises more rapidly than PET, it tends to be preferred for 

industrial scale moulding. 

Applications include electrical and automotive components (including "under-bonnet") and power tool casings.

PEEK 

Common Brand Names : Victrex PEEK, Zyex, Vestakeep 

General Description : A high performance thermoplastic with the characteristics common to this group - strong, stiff, 

hard, high temperature resistance, good chemical resistance and inherently low flammability and smoke emission. PEEK 

is amber in colour and usually semi-crystalline and opaque, except thin films are usually amorphous and transparent. It 

also has very good resistance to wear, dynamic fatigue and radiation, but it is difficult to process and very expensive. 

Filled grades, including ones designed for bearing-type applications are also available as special order items. 

Applications include flexible PCBs (film), fibres and monofilaments, injection moulded engineering components and items 

used in aerospace and radiation environments.

PES 

Common Brand Names : Ultrason E, Victrex PES 

General Description : An amorphous, transparent and amber high performance thermoplastic with the characteristics 

common to this group - see PEEK. It has a slightly higher temperature resistance than PEI (but less than PEEK) and is 

the most temperature resistant transparent commercially available thermoplastic. It has a relatively high water 

absorption and, in common with many other plastics, drying is essential before e.g. thermoforming. It has poor fatigue 

characteristics and is prone to environmental stress cracking but has good long term thermal ageing resistance and 

reasonable radiation resistance. Its chemical resistance is not as wide as PEEK’s; hence stable solutions can be made if 

solvents are correctly chosen. 

Applications include electrical and electronic components, medical etc. equipment that needs repeated sterilisation and 

photographic accessories.

Polyethylene - High density 

HDPE 

Common Brand Names : Hostalen HD, Lacqtene HD, Lupolen, Rigidex, Stamylan HD 

See also General Information under Polyethylene - Low Density 

General Description : A semi-crystalline (typically 70-80%) whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic with 

properties similar to LDPE but significantly stronger and stiffer and with even better chemical resistance. Its impact 

resistance is reasonably high, and is retained at low temperatures, though that of LDPE is much higher. Its electrical 

properties, particularly at high frequencies, are very good but LDPE’s are even better. Its barrier properties, though 

indifferent, are better than those of LDPE. 

Applications include a wide range of containers, blown bottles for food, pipe and pipe fittings and packaging films.

Polyethylene - Low Density 

LDPE 

Common Brand Names : Alkathene, Carlona, Lacqtene, Lupolen, Stamylan LD 

Polyethylenes General : A family of closely related commodity thermoplastics that are manufactured in large volumes in 

a very wide range of grades. Traditionally differentiated by their density (a good measure of degree of crystallinity), from 

a scientist’s point of view the better distinction is the degree of chain branching. The first polyethylene, later called LDPE, 

was and is made by a high pressure process using a free radical initiator/catalyst and is a polymer with a high degree of 

chain branching. Subsequently low pressure processes using Ziegler-Natta or related catalysts were developed which 

produce a much more linear molecule and generally higher crystallinities. These were and are called high density 

polyethylene (HDPE); this technology is now used to make a family of (chemically) closely related PE’s all of which are 

linear - ULDPE (ultra low density ..), LLDPE (linear low ...), MDPE (medium ...), HMWPE (high molecular weight ..) and 

UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight ..). On the other hand, PE copolymers (e.g. with vinyl acetate or acrylates) are 

normally branched polymers. 

General Description : A semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic that is 

soft, flexible and tough - even at low temperatures - with outstanding electrical properties but poor temperature 

resistance. It also has very good chemical resistance but is prone to environmental stress cracking; it has poor UV 

resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water. 

Applications include containers, chemically resistant linings, films (which are transparent if thin) for packaging etc. and 

electrical/electronic applications including cable insulation and cores in UHF cables.

Polyethylene - U.H.M.W. 

UHMW PE 

Common Brand Names : Hostalen GUR, Stamylan UH 

See also General Information under Polyethylene - Low density 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, whitish and effectively opaque engineering thermoplastic which, chemically, is 

a very high molecular weight (3-6 million) HDPE. As a result it has an extremely high (effectively infinite) melt viscosity 

and can only be processed by powder sintering methods. It also has outstanding toughness and cut and wear resistance 

and very good chemical resistance, somewhat better than that of HDPE. 

Applications include many "wear parts" (eg bottle handling machine components), gears, bearings, artificial joints and 

marine quay headings. 

Fibres of very high molecular orientation can also be made from polyethylene of very high molecular weight by gel 

spinning and subsequent drawing to give fibres which are reported to be up to 85% crystalline and with 95% parallel 

orientation. They are known as Ultra High Modulus or High Performance Polyethylene fibre (UHMPE or HPPE). A 

modest range of fibre, braided cord and fabrics are avilable from Goodfellow. 

Like Kevlar, these fibres have very high tensile properties and (small) negative CTE’s. On a volume basis, their tensile 

properties are broadly similar to Kevlar’s but, on a weight basis, they are superior thanks to an almost 50% density 

advantage - but they are not up to the properties of carbon fibre on either basis. Their energy absorption and acoustic 

velocity characteristics are superior to Kevlar’s both as fabric and composite. Applications are being developed 

particularly in the areas of ballistic protection and ropes (in the widest sense).

Polyethylene terephthalate 

Polyester, PET, PETP 

Common Brand Names : Arnite, Dacron, Hostaphan, Impet, Melinar, Melinex, Mylar, Rynite, Terylene, Trevira 

General Description: The most common thermoplastic polyester, this polymer is often called just "polyester". This often 

causes confusion - not only is the chemically similar PBT also a (thermoplastic) polyester, the most common resin 

system used in GRP is also a polyester system - and also often called just "polyester". (In this latter case, however, the 

polyesters are chemically unsaturated and are "free-radical polymerised" into a thermoset). 

PET is a hard, stiff, strong dimensionally stable material that absorbs very little water. It has good gas barrier properties 

and good chemical resistance except to alkalis (which hydrolyse it). Its crystallinity varies from amorphous to fairly high 

crystalline; it can be highly transparent and colourless but thicker sections are usually opaque and off-white. 

Applications include bottles and electrical components but it is probably most widely known as the biaxially oriented and 

thermally stabilised films used for capacitators, graphics, film base and recording tapes etc.

Polyimide 

PI 

Common Brand Names : Kapton, Kinel, Upilex, Upimol, Vespel 

General Description : Normally infusible, coloured (often amber) high performance polymers with predominantly 

aromatic molecules of high thermal stability. Semi-fabricated shapes are usually supplied by the polymer manufacturer 

and made by powder sintering or working with more tractable pre-cursors and completing polymerisation in final form, 

though some melt-processable grades of resin are manufactured. They have excellent high temperature properties and 

radiation resistance, inherently low flammability and smoke emission, low creep and high wear resistance and are very 

expensive. They have moderately high water absorption and are prone to hydrolysis and attack by alkalis and 

concentrated acids. 

A widely used form is Kapton 1 film, made in thicknesses from 0.008 to 0.125mm and which is a transparent amber 

colour. Thicker polyimide items are usually opaque. A range of Kapton film variants are also available. In each of these, 

a large measure of Kapton’s basic properties are combined with an extra attribute eg increased electrical or thermal 

conductivity, improved corona resistance, opacity and thermoplasticity. 

Films are used for capacitators, insulation, printed circuit boards and in aerospace; other applications include engine 

components, bearings and mechanical parts exposed to radiation. 

Explanation of Kapton grade descriptions

Polymethylmethacrylate 

PMMA, Acrylic 

Common Brand Names : Diakon, Lucite, Oroglas, Perspex, Plexiglas 

General Description : Often just called "acrylic" - though this really describes a large family of chemically related 

polymers - PMMA is an amorphous, transparent and colourless thermoplastic that is hard and stiff but brittle and notchsensitive. 

It has good abrasion and UV resistance and excellent optical clarity but poor low temperature, fatigue and 

solvent resistances. Though flammable, it has low smoke emission. 

General purpose grades can be extruded and injection moulded. Monomer casting (for a description, see Nylon 6) is 

also used to achieve much higher molecular weights - which are not melt processable because of their extremely high 

melt viscosity - with somewhat improved properties. The monomer cast items most commonly encountered are sheets 

and novelty displays in which e.g. insects or watch parts are embedded. 

Thin films are normally made from impact modified grades, which incorporate a small proportion of elastomer(s), in order 

to improve their flexibility. 

Applications include sinks, baths, displays, signs, glazing (especially aircraft), lenses and light covers. Cast sheet is also 

used for guards and the like. had entered the human eye were biolgically inert. They are additive-free and the purest 

(and probably the highest molecular weight) grade of PMMA available. All of our other PMMA items contain UV absorber. 

Applications include sinks, baths, displays, signs, glazing (especially aircraft), lenses and light covers. Cast sheet is also 

used for guards and the like.

Polymethylpentene 

TPX 1 Common Brand Names : TPX 1 

General Description : A linear isotactic polyolefin more properly called poly 4-methyl pentene-1 which is made by 

Ziegler-Natta type catalysis (see also General Information under Polyethylene - Low Density). Commercially available 

grades are copolymers. It is semi-crystalline, transparent and usually colourless (one common grade is slightly yellow), 

very light and - for a polyolefin - expensive. [Its density of 0.83g.cm -3 is very close to the theoretical minimum for 

thermoplastics]. 

Its properties are reasonably similar to those of other polyolefins, compared to which it is more brittle and more gas 

permeable. It has a higher melting point (240C) than most polyolefins and retains form stability up to temperatures close 

to this i.e. it softens more slowly with increasing temperature than is normal for thermoplastics. It has good release 

characteristics and good high frequency electrical and valuable acoustic/ultrasonic properties. 

Applications include medical and laboratory apparatus, microwave components and cookware and electronic 

components.

Polyoxymethylene - Copolymer 

Acetal - Copolymer POMC 

Common Brand Names : Celcon, Hostaform, Kemetal, Ultraform 

General Description : Made in both homopolymer and copolymer forms, (our stock is all homopolymer but we can 

readily supply co-polymer as special orders). Both are hard, tough, stiff polymers with excellent abrasion resistance and 

good appearance (can give high surface gloss). Normally highly crystalline and opaque, their natural colour is white but 

they are often used coloured. They have poor resistance to U.V. and generally to acids and alkalis. The homopolymer 

has slightly better mechanical properties but somewhat worse thermo-oxidative stability than the copolymer. Only the 

copolymer is suitable for continuous use with hot water. 

Applications are wide-ranging including gears, bearings, snap fittings and many other engineering components, plumbing 

fittings, appliance casings and jug kettles.

Polyphenyleneoxide 

PPO (modified), PPE (modified) 

Common Brand Names : Noryl, Vestoran, Luranyl 

General Description : Although unmodified PPO is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic, all commercially available grades 

are blended with (high impact) polystyrene in order to improve melt processability. A wide range of proportions, together 

with the use of other modifiers, results in a good range of grades with differing properties tailored to the needs of 

individual end-uses. 

These blends are amorphous, opaque, pale grey engineering thermoplastics with a balance of properties (and cost) not 

unlike nylon but without nylon’s high water absorption and consequent dimensional instability. However they have poor 

fatigue characteristics and poor solvent, though good hydrolysis, resistance. 

Applications include electrical and TV components, washing and dish-washing machine parts, automobile parts 

(especially fascias) and structural foam.

Polyphenylenesulphide - 40% Glass Fibre Reinforced 

PPS - 40% GFR 

Common Brand Names : Fortron, Ryton, Supec 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, normally dark coloured high performance thermoplastic that is commercially 

available only in filled or reinforced grades. Reportedly, its low glass-rubber transition temperature leads to unimpressive 

properties for unreinforced grades but the reinforced ones, annealed after moulding, have high crystallinity, particularly 

good thermal stability and the properties typical of (reinforced) high performance thermoplastics (see PEEK). It is 

somewhat less expensive than most high performance thermoplastics, although its long-term continuous use 

temperature is somewhat lower than that of PEEK. The 40% glass fibre reinforced grade stocked by Goodfellow has a 

good balance of strength, stiffness and has good dimensional stability but is rather notch-sensitive. 

It is used for precision mechanical parts, electrical components and pumps, valves etc, for use in aggressive 

environments in process industry.

Polypropylene 

PP 

Common Brand Names : Appryl, Hostalen PP, Lacqtene, Novolen, Propathene 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, white, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic made in a very wide variety of 

grades and modifications. It is a linear polyolefin which can be compared in many ways to high density polyethylene 

(HDPE) and that is manufactured in a very similar way. The catalysts used control the polymer’s stereoregularity quite 

well so that commercial polypropylenes are usually predominantly isotactic. Polypropylene homopolymer is harder and 

has a higher temperature resistance than HDPE but lower impact resistance and becomes brittle below ~0C. Hence 

copolymer grades are preferred for all applications exposed to cold/winter conditions. These copolymers have better 

impact strength, maintained down to lower temperatures, than homopolymer at the expense of quite small reductions in 

other properties. Like polyethylenes, polypropylene has good chemical but poor UV resistance (unless stabilised or 

protected). 

Applications include (for homopolymers) appliance housings, housewares, packaging, cassette holders and fibres, 

monofilaments and slit-film tapes; for copolymers pipes, containers, boat hulls, seat shells and automotive parts e.g. 

battery cases and bumpers though the latter are often made from more heavily elastomer-modified polypropylenes.

Polystyrene 

PS 

Common Brand Names : Polystyrol, Styron 

General Description : Polystyrene homopolymer, known as "crystal" polystyrene in the trade, is an amorphous, 

transparent and colourless commodity thermoplastic that is rigid, relatively hard and brittle. It has good electrical 

properties, excellent gamma radiation resistance and can be radiation sterilised but has poor chemical and UV 

resistance. When modified by the incorporation of elastomers, it becomes (high) impact polystyrene or HIPS, which is 

opaque and not stocked by Goodfellow except as a conductive version. Hence there are a large number of polystyrene 

grades available commercially. 

Applications include housewares, containers, packaging, glazing and light diffusers and, for HIPS, casings, cups, takeout

PS - X - Linked 

Common Brand Names : Q.200.5, Rexolite 

General Description : A cross-linked polystyrene copolymer which is rigid, transparent and colourless with outstanding 

electrical properties, including low dielectric losses up to very high frequencies, and very high radiation resistance. It has 

good dimensional stability, is easily machined and can be polished to a high optical quality. Compared to normal 

polystyrene, it is harder and somewhat more temperature resistant. 

It is used primarily as a dielectric material in a wide range of components together with lenses, observation windows, X- 

ray equipment and radiation detectors.

Polytetrafluoroethylene 

PTFE 

Common Brand Names : Fluon, Hostaflon TF 

General Description : A totally fluorinated polymer that is semi-crystalline, semi-opaque and white. It has outstanding 

chemical resistance being unaffected by almost all chemicals and also has a very high oxygen index (i.e. is inherently 

non-flam). It has a very low coefficient of friction and is stable to high temperatures. It is soft, easily deformed, very prone 

to creep and low in strength with poor radiation resistance. It is very expensive and cannot be melt-processed (although 

in theory it melts at 327C, its melt viscosity is virtually infinite) and so is formed by powder sintering methods. 

Industrial applications include bearings, seals, O-rings, high temperature electrical insulation, non-stick coatings and 

linings for vessels etc, etc. Its unusual properties make it invaluable for a wide range of laboratory applications.

Polyvinylchloride - Unplasticised 

UPVC 

Common Brand Names : Corvic, Evipol, Geon, Hostalit, Lacovyl, Lucorex 

General Description : An amorphous commodity thermoplastic that can be transparent and colourless but is much more 

commonly pigmented. It is stiff, strong and inherently flame retardant with quite good chemical resistance (solvents are 

its weak area, especially stress cracking therein). It has good barrier properties and UV resistance but a limited 

operational temperature range, becoming brittle at 5C (unless modified) and with an upper continuous use temperature of 

50C. 

As additive-free PVC starts to decompose before it melts, it can only be melt processed by the addition of stabilisers or 

the use of copolymers (or by the addition of plasticisers which results in products of different properties). 

Applications include building products - eg window frames and cladding, pipes and fittings, floor tiles - bottles, film and LP 

records. Though PVC is widely used as cable insulation, this is normally made from plasticised grades (or sometimes 

from cross-linked PVC for minimum flammability).

Polyvinylidenefluoride 

PVDF 

Common Brand Names : Floraflon, Kynar, Solef 

General Description : A semi-crystalline, semi-opaque and white engineering thermoplastic that is melt processable and 

expensive. It has good temperature and general chemical resistance (though neither are as good as PTFE’s) and good 

abrasion and radiation resistance. It is somewhat stiffer and stronger than most (melt-processable) fluoropolymers but 

has high dielectric losses. 

It has a highly dipolar molecule so that, if the correct morphology is achieved, valuable piezo- and pyro-electric properties 

result. The desired form is known as the ß phase or Form I, in which the predominantly "head to tail" polymer chains 

have an all-trans extended planar zig-zag form with the dipoles of adjacent chains parallel to one another. This is formed 

from the more common Alpha phase (Form II) by mechanical deformation followed by electrical polarisation at very high 

electrical fields. In practice, both uniaxial and biaxial mechanical orientation is used which, after poling, gives a different 

balance of piezo-/pyro-electric properties. 

Applications of PVDF include pipes and fittings, bearings, linings and vessels (all especially for the chemical processing 

industry), wire insulation and piezo-electric devices.

Silicone Elastomer 

MQ/VNQ/PMQ/PVMQ 

Common Brand Names : Silastic, Silopren 

General Description : Relatively expensive synthetic elastomers which are used in a range of formulations tailored to 

the needs of individual end-uses. Their natural colour is off-white/yellowish but formulations often include opaque, 

coloured fillers. Although relatively weak at ambient temperatures, their retention of properties and overall performance 

at both higher and lower temperatures is very good - and can, to some extent, be moved in either direction by formulation. 

They have very good chemical and UV resistance but can be prone to (slow) hydrolysis in high pressure steam and in the 

absence of oxygen at high temperatures. They are also very permeable to gases. 

Industrial applications include seals, O-rings etc., linings, insulation, modelling/casting moulds or impressions, permeable 

membranes and automobile and aerospace applications.

MACOR 1 Machinable Glass Ceramic 

SiO 2 46/Al 2 O 3 16/MgO 17/K 2 O 10/B 2 O 3 7 

Common Brand Names : MACOR 1 

This Machineable Ceramic is a white ceramic which can be machined with ordinary steel or carbide tools. It has been 

used extensively in the Space Shuttle Orbiter. It can be used continuously up to 800C and is a good electrical and 

thermal insulator. Outgassing in ultra-high vacuum environments can be eliminated, if degassed before use. MACOR 1 

is non-wetting and can be bonded to itself as well as to various metals, if the MACOR 1 surfaces are first metallised.
