PEEK

Overview

PEEK is considered the most popular advanced engineering plastic with a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance. VICTREX® Polyetheretherketone polymers are high quality products in a wide range of AEPP’s.

Benefits:

• Excellent dimensional stability
• Hardly inflammable and self-extinguishing.
• Low smoke density.
• High wear resistance.
• Outstanding sliding properties.
• Good electrical insulation properties.
• Optimised balance of stiffness.
• Low coefficient of linear thermal expansion.

Weaknesses:

• Greater thermal expansion.
• More elastic than metal.
• Loses heat more slowly than metal.
• Avoid localized overheating.

Applications:

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic material and it is a superb choice for demanding applications; withstanding high temperatures and resistant to chemicals and radiation..

• Rotor arms.
• Friction discs.
• Seals.
• Shock absorbers.
• Coil bobbins.
• Cable insulation.
