If you are looking for a thermoplastic that maintains its excellent mechanical and chemical resistance at high temperatures, we recommend PEEK polymer.
Introduction
PEEK is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties PEEK polymer can work up to 250 ° C. Extra mechanical strength, toughness, hardness, flexural strength and high torsional strength, as well as excellent chemical resistance and electrical properties are other features of this polymer. Today, different types of polymers are widely used in all industries and in our lives in general. One of the very good and high quality polymers that is from the category of highly engineered polymers and is used in almost all industries, is polytetrafluoroethylene.
Application:
PEEK is used to fabricate items for demanding applications, including bearings, piston parts, pumps, high-performance liquid chromatography columns, compressor plate valves, and electrical cable insulation. It is one of the few plastics compatible with ultra-high vacuum applications, which makes it suitable for aerospace, automotive, electronic, and chemical industries. PEEK is used in medical implants, e.g., use with a high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for creating a partial replacement skull in neurosurgical applications.
