Valve seats, gasket. FDA approved as “Food Contact Material”.

Main Features

  • Maximum Service Temperature is extremely high (250 °C in continuous operation and up to 310°C for short exposition periods);
  • Excellent mechanical resistance to yield and rigidity, even at high temperatures;
  • Excellent chemical resistance and resistance to hydrolysis;
  • Excellent resistance to friction and wear;
  • Very good dimensional stability;
  • Intrinsic resistance to flame and low-level smoke emission during combustion;
  • Good dielectric and insulation properties (except filled grades);
  • Excellent resistance to ultra-high-energy radiation (gamma and X rays);
  • FDA approved as Food Contact Material;
  • If filled with fiber glass or carbon fiber it raises its resistance to high temperatures

USES

PUMP WEAR-RINGSS

PEEKilled wear-rings improve centrifugal pump performance, since they provide better suited tolerance, and they also do away with corrosion, excoriation and wear problems.

CAPS, BEARINGS, GASKETS AND SAFETY JUNTAS Y LOCK WASHERS

PEEK manufactured parts improve performance and reliability of machines for the aeronautic sector or for oil drilling.

SCRAPER BLADES FOR HEAT EXCHANGER

Scraper blades used in the food and chemical industry for surface heat exchangers are made of

peek

. This material’s rigidity and mechanical resistance as well as its resistance to high temperatures, wear, hydrolysis and chemical products make this material ideal for those uses.

CAPS ON REELS FOR STEEL WIRE

The caps used on reels for steel wire during soda caustic baths in the stretching process are PEEK-filled. This increases the useful life of the parts and makes them more inexpensive (tan the one previously used in the process of steel ball bearing). These components were chosen based on their chemical resistance and its resistance to wear, as well as its capacity to stand loads at high temperatures
