Polyether etherketone can be used at very high temperatures and it shows a good mechanical strength, toughness, hardness, flexural strength, and torsional strength. PEEK exhibits excellent chemical resistance, very good dielectric properties up to 260°C and a very good resistance to all kinds of radiation. Properties: - very high mechanical strength
- very high rigidity
- very high thermal stability
- very high creep resistance
- very high dimensional stability
- very high radiation resistance
- very high hydrolysis resistance
- relatively low notch impact-strength
- low resistance against acetone
Applications include bearing shells, piston rings, valve seats, gears, seals, aviation, cog-wheels, pump vanes, fittings, plug connectors, and wafer carriers. |
