ThermaX™ PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in the world. PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications where failure is not an option.
Benefits of PEEK Include:
- Inherently flame-resistant and self-extinguishing
- Long-term hydrolytic stability even above 250°C
- Outstanding resistance to a broad range of chemicals, including automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
- Low smoke and toxic gas emissions
- Excellent dimensional stability with low heat creep, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, giving PEEK highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
- High thermal properties with a Tg of 143°C, CUT of 240-260°C, and Tm of 343°
Typical PEEK Applications Include:
- Seals, Gears, Bushings, Bearings, Pump and Compressor Components
- Industries Served: Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semiconductor, Oil & Gas
