Low flammability rating of UL94 V-0, enhancing safety and minimizing fire risks
Environmentally friendly choice, emitting minimal smoke and toxic gasses.
Excellent chemical resistance and fatigue strength, ensuring long-lasting performance under harsh conditions.
Hydrolysis resistance, broadening the range of potential applications.
Radiation resistance and relatively low melt viscosity, making it a versatile material with diverse applications.
Flame retardant properties, providing an extra layer of protection against fire hazards.
Restrictions
Limitations of PEEK HPV
PEEK HPV can be relatively expensive compared to other engineering plastics.
High form creep.
Chemically unstable to some solvents and chemicals, which may limit its use in some applications.
Not resistant to sulfuric acid.
PEEK HPV has a low thermal conductivity, which can lead to heat build-up in high temperature applications.
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.
