This sample pack includes 3x3" samples of PEEK, PTFE, and Ultem (PEI). All plastics are designed to operate within a defined range of temperature. This selection of extreme-high-performance materials is designed to help assist in choosing the correct plastic when working in extreme heat or cold.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A, CAS 80-05-7, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

PEEK PEEK is high temperature-resistant engineered thermoplastic with excellent chemical and fatigue resistance and thermal stability. PEEK exhibits superior mechanical and electrical properties with a maximum continuous working temperature of 480°F and excellent retention of mechanical properties up to 570°F in a steam or high-pressure water environment. Superior chemical resistance has allowed PEEK to work effectively as a metal replacement in harsh environments. PEEK is inert to all common solvents and resists a wide range of organic and inorganic liquids.
PTFE PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, is a fluoropolymer that is resistant to heat and chemicals. It has an extremely low coefficient of friction, and is used as a coating on cookware, gaskets, seals, and hoses. It is unaffected by virtually all acids and caustics, functioning in environments up to 500°F, and as low as -350°F.
Ultem (PEI) An amorphous, transparent amber polymer, PEI combines high temperature resistance, rigidity, impact strength, and creep resistance. PEI has found use in medical applications because of its heat and radiation resistance, hydrolytic stability, and transparency; in the electronics field, it is used to make burn-in sockets, bobbins, and printed circuit substrates; automotive uses include lamp sockets and under-hood temperature sensors; and PEI plastic sheeting is used in aircraft interiors.

I liked everything it came with, and they checked in with me before a few weeks later, which I so appreciated. ended up with PTFE and it does the job

I had ordered the week of Dec 7. I should say that other distributors should learn Customer service from the management of Interstate Plastics! They will go out of the way to help, organize and ensure that you are happy with the order!

Simple "pack" but very helpful!

Very helpful and I wouldn't have thought to purchase this. Interstate Plastics guided me through the differences and it finally came down to field testing. A+++

Great! Helpful!

Good selection of products although I feel it misses a few materials it would have been nice to test.

A very helpful kit for burn tests. We used a controllable torch to test stress under different temperatures. The product info sheets were somewhat helpful, but nothing beats field testing. Overall a good kit, maybe slightly overpriced.

The right product at the right price point. We were able to figure out that PTFE or Teflon was the right choice for the project.

A great way to try out niche plastics I would never purchase otherwise. They did not work for my application but it was good to verify the PEEK without having to buy a large sheet.

Useful pack before buying the right product.

I recently went to the San Leandro, CA branch to buy this in person. I was quite disappointed to find out that these must be ordered online as they ship out of Sacramento. HOWEVER! You could tell that the employees enjoyed working there and their customer service was well received by the customers. They put in an order online for the pack, and I received it in 4 days! Good work.

Well worth the price since we can test the samples before investing in larger sheets.

Thank you to the girl who talked me into buying this! This kept me from burning my project. I guess what I was thinking of buying for my chemistry project would have melted. Sooooo glad I got to test out the different plastics before I made a huge mistake.
