High temperature plastic piping
High temperature plastic piping
(OP)
Hello,
Is there a plastic that will withstand 1000-1400F heat?
I've head a quick look but couldn't find anything that would go above 300F except for UHT that does 900F.
Are there any other composite materials that can handle that kind of heat that would more cost-effective than metals?
I'm looking for heat insulating,low conductivity, low weight properties.
Thanks!

Phenolic resin is not expensive, and not exotic, but a little weird.

Hadn't heard of thet UHT resin (just loooked it up). Intriguing. 900 deg F is now my new record holder! (Not sure if it counts as a polymer with Si instead of C? Probably I guess. A sort of ceramic polymer?)
Unfortunately I'd guess that your requirements may be pointing you towards ceramics. Unless you can tolerate really low strengths you're definitely not going to be cost competitive with metals.
