General Properties of PEEK

Because of its inherent strength, thermal and chemical properties, PEEK continues to
replace metals and other materials in a wide variety of applications. With its
outstanding mechanical properties and excellent processability, PEEK is ideal for
components functioning in a wide range of highly aggressive environtments. It can
withstands extreme pressure and continuous temperature of up to 260°C (500°F)
and deliver enhanced performance that results in longer service life and reduced
downtime.

High Temperature Resistance

Withstands continuous operating temperature of up to 260°C (500°F) and even
higher temperatures for shorts durations.

Good Wear and Abrasion Resistance

Outstanding wear resistance over wide ranges of pressure, velocity, temperature
and counterfacial roughness.

Good Electrical Properties

Maintained over a wide frequency and temperature range. Suitable for both
microwave transparent and EMI/RFI shielded enclosures.

Radiation Resistance
Thermoplastic materials exposed to electromagnetic or particle based ionizing
radiation can become brittle. Due to the energetically stable chemical structure of
PEEK, components can successfully operate in, or are frequently sterilized by, high
doses of ionizing radiation.

Good Flame, Smoke and Toxicity

Highly stable and requires no flame retardant additives to achieve a V-O rating at
1,45 mm (0.057 in) thickness UL94. The composition and inherent purity of the
material result in extremely low smoke and toxic gas emission in fire situations.
Main combustion products are CO and CO2 ; Approved in aeronautical and mass
transport applications
Hydrolysis Resistance
Retains mechanical properties and dimensional stability when exposed to water
or stream at elevated temperatures and pressures.

Tribologycal Properties
Tribology may be defined as the interaction of contacting surface under an
applied load in relative motion. If the surface of a material is viewed on a
microscosopic scale, a seemingly smooth finish is, in fact, a series of asperities.
Therefore, if two materials are then place in contact and moved relative to one
another, the asperities of both surface collide. The removal of asperities may be
considered as wear, and resistance to the motion as a frictional force. PEEK are
used to form tribological components due to their outstanding resistance to wear
under high pressure (p) and high velocity (v) conditions.

Lubricity
Inherently hard, lubricious surface offers abrasion resistance for low maintenance
operation.

High Purity
Victrex PEEK materials are inherently pure with exceptionally low levels of ionic
extractables and excellent outgassing characteristics.

Chemical Resistance
Excellent resistance to a wide range of chemical environtments including jet fuels,
salt spray, and chemical/biological agents even at elevated temperatures.
Excellent chemical resistance against bases, acids, organic, and inorganic reagents
even at high temperature. Superior resistance against all automotive fluids. i.e.
lubricants grease, break fluid, coolants, …

PEEK applications :
Bearing shells, piston rings, valve seats, gears, seals, aviation, cog-wheels, pump
vanes, fittings, plug connectors, wafer carriers, etc.
