I am looking for new vane material for a sliding vane vacuum pump for chemical applications. I know composites are used for this application, but don't know materials or suppliers. Can someone give an assist?
American Matrix Corp make such materials. We pake stock plates using continious carbon fiber and PEEK or PPS thermoplastic resin. Visit our web site at
Our company manufactures carbon-graphite vanes, with phenolic impregnation. The cost will be much lower than composite materials, and chemical resistance is very good.
If you are still interested in these types of materials. My company has vane products that have the best chemical resistance of any material, service tempertures to 550F, low friction, near 0 thermal expansion, flex strength of 135ksi and flex modulus of 7.5msi. Email your requirements to rmdavies@americanmatrixcorp.com. Web site at
