Unmatched Durability and Versatility
Thermoplastic Composites for Demanding Applications
Thermoplastic composites are advanced materials made by combining a thermoplastic polymer matrix with reinforcing fibers such as glass or carbon to enhance strength and performance. Our thermoplastic carbon fiber composites offer exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for high-performance applications where strength, durability, and lightweight design are critical. Greene Tweed thermoplastic composite materials deliver proven mechanical strength, reduced wear, part consolidation, environmental/chemical resistance, and weight reduction across a wide range of components and applications. For a composite solution built to weather the elements, our design engineers work with you to determine the best product design and material for the job. Thermoplastic composite materials include PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) and PEKK (Polyetherketoneketone), PEI (Polyetherimide), PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), and PA (Polyamide or “Nylon”).
AR®
Improve Uptime, Reduce Maintenance
Greene Tweed’s AR® (Abrasion Resistant) protects pump systems from sand, coal ash, and other solids. AR® components are designed to operate in extreme temperatures, from subzero up to 121°C (250°F).
AR® 1 provides general abrasion resistance typically used in vertical pumps, while AR® HT is more suited to high-temperature, abrasive-resistant applications like vertical water feed pumps in nuclear facilities.

ONX® 600
High-Performance, Low-Cost OEM Solutions
ONX® 600 is used in precision engineered components for semiconductor manufacturing. This material provides a resilient wafer cleaning solution able to withstand corrosive chemicals at high temperatures. ONX® 600 is electrically conductive, removing static charges caused by spin-spray actions and protecting the delicate features of semiconductor devices.
ORTHTEK®
Superior Metal Replacement
For a high-strength, lightweight, chemical-resistant material built for demanding medical and biotechnology applications, look no further than Orthtek®. While metals have traditionally been used for structural components in medical/x-ray technology, Orthtek® structures are radiolucent and provide equal or greater performance at a fraction of the weight. These composites are engineered using selective carbon fiber reinforcements and thermoplastic polymers to achieve maximum strength and toughness.
WR®
Minimize Wear and Friction
Greene Tweed’s WR® (Wear Resistant) line improves uptime and extends the service life of pump wear components by reducing wear and friction while delivering superior non-galling, non-seizing performance. With longer dry runs and exceptional chemical resistance, WR® materials reduce running clearance by over 50% for improved stability and overall efficiency.
