Ketron PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
The Ketron PEEK family of materials is based on polyetheretherketone resin. This semi-crystaline advanced material exhibits a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance making it the most popular advanced plastics material.
| Very high max. allowable service temperature in air (250°C continuously going up to 310°C for short periods) |
| High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness, also at elevated temperatures |
| Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance |
| Excellent wear & frictional behaviour (particulary KETRON PEEK-HPV and PEEK-CA30) |
| Very good dimensional stability |
| Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion |
| Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except for KETRON PEEK-HPV and KETRON PEEK-CA30) |
| Excellent resistance against high energy radiation (gamma and X-rays) |
| Food contact compliant composition (PEEK-1000 Nat & PEEK TX) |
