PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that can withstand extreme temperatures and chemical wear without losing fundamental characteristics of its physical properties. It is an amazing material for a broad range of uses where chemical, combustion and thermal attributes are basic for execution.
Properties
- Excels in high-temperature environs while maintaining high mechanical properties
- Has nearly the chemical and heat resistance of PTFE but is structurally strong and abrasion resistant
- Unaffected by continuous steam exposure and does not leach. It is flame retardant and has continuous service temperature of 480°F
- Good resistance to gamma radiation
Used in:
- Liquid chromatography
- Seal rings
- Medical industry
- Semi-conductor industry
- Pump and valve components
- Carries a V-O flammability rating and exhibits low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame.
