5 Questions About Meldin® Thermoplastics
Meldin® thermoplastics are high-performance polymers designed to maintain strength, stability, and dimensional integrity at elevated temperatures where standard engineering plastics fail.
Meldin® Thermoplastics offer excellent wear resistance, thermal stability, chemical compatibility, and dimensional control for high-load, high-temperature environments.
Meldin® thermoplastics are widely used in aerospace, industrial, and life science applications, including thrust washers, electrical insulators, and structural components.
Yes. Meldin® Thermoplastics are available in reinforced grades for strength, unfilled grades for electrical insulation, and specialty blends optimized for wear and friction performance.
A common misconception is that plastics cannot replace metals. Meldin® Thermoplastics can match or exceed metal performance in demanding applications while reducing weight and eliminating lubrication.

Meldin® Thermoplastics
1000 PPS Based
Meldin® 1000 series is an Omniseal Solutions material line based on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic compounds. Components made from the Meldin® series materials exhibit excellent chemical and thermal resistance, have good dimensional stability, and maintain structural integrity, proving design versatility. This stability stems naturally from the low coefficients of thermal expansion of the series. The dimensional stability is particularly apparent in components functioning in close-clearance applications.
Used in
Thermoplastic economical polymer material solution BEST for strength and rigidity.
Meldin® Thermoplastics
4000 PAI Based
Meldin® 4000 is Omniseal Solutions material line of PAI (polyamide-imide) based compounds. The different numbers within the series refer to the unique composition and different properties of the various compounds.
Meldin® 4000 grades are manufactured by injection molding that can meet tight tolerances. There is also a limited number of shapes available for prototyping activities.
Used in
