Polymet produces precision multi-gauge strip products for a range of applications. high-speed milling process means we can do this very economically, and with excellent precision: Segments of the parent material are precisely removed, producing a profile that is largely free of residual stresses.These profiles allow you to design simpler, more cost-effective stamping tools because the need to incorporate coining stations in the die is eliminated or substantially reduced.

PEP Polymet manufactures nickel clad copper round-edge flat stock, for use in the manufacturing of fiberglass. The strip is constructed of a uniform layer of pure nickel, metallurgically clad to the copper substrate to form a rounded edge strip that is completely encapsulated by the nickel layer. The excellent thermal conductivity of the copper transfers the heat away from the working surface, while the nickel provides protection against corrosive liquids and gases in the thermal column.

Contact tapes are precision-formed overlays designed to meet the requirements of high speed, automatic welding equipment for the manufacture of electrical contact assemblies. By precisely controlling the thickness of the component materials, a composite material system can be designed that minimizes precious metal usage, maximizes conductivity, and provides a resistive backing for attachment during the welding process of your contact assembly.

PEP Polymet fret wire characteristics: Made from 18% Nickel Silver (“German Silver”) Rich silver color, which remains bright and tarnish-free Widest selection of fret wire profiles Continuous coils Cut-to-length to your specifications Dimensional accuracy Consistency in properties Custom profiles and materials to suit your needs Polymet has been manufacturing the highest quality fret wire profiles for decades. Polymet fret wire is specified in most models of high-quality string instruments, and it’s used by world-famous string musicians. In fact, most replacement frets in the marketplace are made using Polymet’s fret wire. How does Polymet form fret wire? Starting with the highest quality nickel silver wire, we form the material into the pattern desired in a highly precise, multiple-step continuous process that yields an excellent surface finish, dimensional accuracy and aesthetic appearance. Following cleaning, the wire is either shipped in large coils, or cut to straight lengths and packaged to your specifications. PEP Polymet offers finished fret wire with a quick lead time and a competitive price. Some of the many patterns offered are shown below. Custom patterns can also be manufactured.

PEP Polymet specializes in the manufacture of standard and special thermostat metal products ranging from strip to coils, helixes, stampings and sub-assemblies. Using our proprietary controlled atmosphere bonding process to insure bond integrity and optimum performance, our materials are made to the closest tolerances and specifications. Complete on-site testing facilities measure flexivity and resistivity, guaranteeing products of a consistently high quality to ASTM standards.
