  • Documents
  • Outstanding wear and sliding performance.
  • Exceptional high-temperature resistance (+250°C continuously in air).
  • Superior resistance to hot water vapor.
  • The material is low in flammability (UL94 V-0).
  • It emits minimal smoke and toxic gases.
  • The material has excellent chemical resistance and fatigue strength.
  • Hydrolysis resistant.
  • The material is radiation-resistant and has a relatively low melt viscosity.
  • It is also flame retardant.
  • PEEK TX can be relatively expensive compared to other engineering plastics.
  • High form creep.
  • Not resistant to sulfuric acid.

Specific properties

PEEK HPV is a type of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fiber, graphite, and PTFE lubricant. This gives the material a range of beneficial properties for use in bearings and other tribological applications. The latest quality is PEEK HPV material which offers outstanding bearing performance. PEEK can be used in hot water or steam without permanent loss of physical properties. For extreme environments, PEEK is a high-strength alternative to fluoropolymers.
