PEEK grades offer chemical and hydrolysis resistance similar to PPS, can operate at higher temperatures. PEEK 1000 offers steam and wear resistance, while carbon-reinforced PEEK provides excellent wear capabilities. Our latest grade, PEEK HPV, offers outstanding bearing performance. PEEK can be used continuously to 480°F (250°C) and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. For hostile environments, PEEK is a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers. PEEK carries a V-O flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame.
PEEK 450G
This general purpose grade is unreinforced and offers the highest elongation and toughness of
PEEK grades. The newly available black PEEK is ideal for instrument components where aesthetics are important, as well as for seal components where ductility and inertness are important.
PEEK GF30 (30% Glass- Reinforced)
The addition of glass fibers significantly reduces the expansion rate and increases the flexural modulus of PEEK. This grade is ideal for structural applications that require improved strength, stiffness or stability, especially at temperatures above 300°F (150°C).
PEEK - HPV :
The addition of carbon fibres, PTFE & graphite to virgin PEEK results in a PEEK "Bearing Grade" having low friction, long wear & high Pressure-Velocity capabilities make this grade suited for bearing & wear applications.
