PEEK Rod provides excellent chemical
resistance combined with heat resistance to 480° F. Used in steam or boiling
water applications, PEEK experiences no significant decline in its properties.
Applications
•High pressure liquid/gas chromatography parts
•Chemical pump gears & wear plates
•Plasma arc torch bodies
•Insulators & connectors
•Steam cleaning equipment
•Automotive manual
•Transmission thrust washers
PEEK is used in harsh
applications
in the Chromatography industry.
The
addition of carbon fibers enhances the compressive strength and
stiffness of PEEK, and dramatically lowers its expansion rate.
It offers designers optimum wear resistance and load carrying
capability in a PEEK-based product. This grade provides 3½
times higher thermal conductivity than unreinforced
PEEK-dissipating heat from the bearing surface faster.
