Semitron® MDS 100 High precision PEEK

Quadrant Semitron® MDS 100 was developed specifically to provide a highly rigid, stable, moisture-resistant platform for precision structural applications. Its unique, proprietary polymer matrix makes it ideal for use in parts where fine machining and precise tolerances are critical. With flexural modulus performance greater than 1,000,000 psi, Quadrant Semitron® MDS 100 sets a new performance level for machinable polymers. Quadrant’s new technology allows the production of shapes that reduce the amount of machining required for thinner parts.

Semitron® MDS 100 is a strong, stiff platform for applications such as: - Test sockets for semiconductor test and package equipment - Fixtures for electronics testing - Mounting points for precision diagnostic equipment - Positioning platforms for miniature motion control devices.

PEEK With a Flexural Modulus (ASTM D790) in excess of 1,400,000 psi and extremely low moisture absorption (24 hr., ASTM D570) of .10%, Semitron MDS 100 delivers performance that solves engineering problems associated with uncontrolled application environments. Its low Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (ASTM E831) of 1.1 x 10-5 also contributes to its remarkable stability. The Heat Deflection or softening temperature (ASTM D648) is 410° F (210° C). Engineers and designers of equipment that require precise, reliable tolerances will have more options for new or upgraded part designs with MCAM-Quadrant's new Semitron® MDS 100 machining stock. Semitron MDS 100 sheet is available from stock in range of thicknesses from 1 mm to 6 mm (.04 to .236") in sheet sizes of 250 mm x 250 mm (9.84") and 500 mm x 500 mm (19.68"). Other thicknesses are possible.
