Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a thermoplastic poly-condensate available in multifilament, monofilament, and spun yarns. The fibers have great mechanical properties which are maintained under extreme conditions.
PEEK fiber properties include:
- Chemical resistant
- Excellent thermal performance (operates from -60°C to 250°C)
- Mechanical wear resistant
- Low coefficient of friction
- Biocompatible (resistant to multiple autoclave sterilizations, and resistant to radiation)
- High vacuum compatible
- Halogen free and RoHS compliant
- Low flame, low smoke, and toxicity
Sample PEEK applications:
- Filtration fabric
- Conveyor belts
- Wire harness
- Hose covering and reinforcement
- Aerospace
