Shanghai, China – March 17, 2025 – Victrex, a pioneer in high-performance polymer solutions, is proud to announce that is has received the prestigious Ringier Technology Innovation Award in the Raw Materials & Compounds category for its innovative LMPAEK granules and powders. This accolade highlights LMPAEK’s outstanding mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and enhanced processability, making it a game-changer for industries such as aerospace, electronics, and automotive.
The Ringier Innovation Awards are presented annually in China to acknowledge companies that have made significant contributions in a variety of industries and considered one of China’s most influential awards. This award recognises Victrex’s LMPAEKs ability to streamline manufacturing processes while promoting sustainability. The material's unique attributes facilitate faster cycle times and energy-efficient processing, aligning with global environmental objectives.
Jakob Sigurdsson, Chief Executive of Victrex, said: “We’re proud to be supporting and underpinning these groundbreaking examples of innovation across the Aerospace industry. Victrex seeks to enable environmental or societal benefit through our products, and our LMPAEKTM grade of high performance polymers offer advanced processing efficiency, as well as the unique properties that our materials already bring, such as lightweighting and mechanical strength. We’re building on our strong track record of yesterday and today to support the aircraft of tomorrow.”
LMPAEK, a next-generation low-melt viscosity polyaryletherketone (PAEK), offers several key advantages:
- Lower Melting Temperatures: Melts at 280°C-350°C, which is about 40°C lower than VICTREX™ PEEK, facilitating quicker processing and reduced energy consumption.
- Expanded Processing Window: Provides manufacturers with greater flexibility by allowing operations within a wider temperature range without compromising performance.
- Advanced Manufacturing Solutions: Enhances composite and additive manufacturing through superior performance and ease of use.
- Cost Efficiency: Designed for cost-effective production in high-volume manufacturing environments.
With decades of experience in developing world-leading polymer solutions, Victrex continues to push the boundaries of PAEK technology. The Ringier Technology Innovation Award further validates the company’s dedication to providing materials that drive environmental and societal benefits.
The award success at Ringier follows recognition at the 2025 JEC Innovation awards, where finalists Chase, Daher and AVEL all used Victrex LMPAEK™ materials in their solutions to develop a better future.
