What are the characteristics of Peek?
Strong, stiff plastic with outstanding chemical resistance; performs over a wide range of temps. PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance engineering plastic with outstanding resistance to harsh chemicals, and excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
What is Peek PTFE made of?
Acetal UHMW DuPont™ Vespel® Polyimide HDPE Polycarbonate PTFE. PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance engineering plastic with outstanding resistance to harsh chemicals, and excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability. It offers hydrolysis resistance to steam, water, and sea water.
What is the temperature range for Peek?
PEEK has the ability to maintain stiffness at high temperatures and is suitable for continuous use at temperatures up to 338 oF (170 oC). This engineering plastic has a proven track record in challenging environments such as aerospace, oil and gas, and semiconductor.
What is the CTE value of Peek composites?
When fillers are added to highly stable base polymers such as VICTREX® PEEK, the resulting composites exhibit extremely low CTE values, which makes PEEK a good candidate for applications requiring plastics with CTEs as close as possible to those of metals. Values may vary according to brand name.
What grade of PEEK is FDA compliant?
FDA Compliant PEEK – grades available that meet FDA requirements. Optical, Metal and X-ray Detectable PEEK – TECAPEEK® UD is a dark blue FDA compliant detectable PEEK designed for the food and beverage processing and pharmaceutical industries.
What is the difference between Peek and tecapeek® PVX?
Glass-Filled PEEK– offers enhanced mechanical and thermal properties over those of basic PEEK, plus excellent resistance in harsh chemical environments and is electrically insulative. Bearing Grade PEEK– has enhanced bearing and wear properties. TECAPEEK® PVX is an ultra high performance bearing material with wear enhancing additives.
