This will include unmodified polymers and standard colour formulations currently offered by Solvay. Foster can also offer custom compounding of these polymers, including custom colours, for specific application requirements.

“Solvay’s standard grades of PEEK and PAEK polyketone based polymers, along with their sulfone-based polymers, are in high demand for reusable medical devices.  Additionally, device companies are increasingly evaluating material formulations that provide differentiated colours and performance characteristics,” said Larry Johnson, Executive Vice President at Foster Corporation.
