Industry Tradenames: Tecapeek . PEEK HT . PEK . Ketron HPV . Semitron ESd 480 . PEEK PBI . PEEK-LSG . PEEK-CA30 LSG . PEEK-GF30 LSG
Material Description
PEEK (PolyEtherEther-Ketone) is a high performance engineering thermoplastic offering the same chemical and water resistance as PPS (PolyPhenylene Sulfide), but can withstand greater temperatures. PEEK can be continuously used in water or steam without permoenant loos in physical properties to a temperature of 480°F (250°C). Since 1998, unfilled Peek has been approved by the FDA and can be used as a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers for hostile environments. Carrying a V-0 flammability rating, Peek exhibits low smoke/toxic gas emission when exposed to open flame.
