Product Details
Ketron® PEEK 1000 is a virgin, unfilled polyetheretherketone that features chemical and hydrolysis resistance comparable to PPS while being capable of operating at higher temperatures. This general-purpose grade is unreinforced, offering the highest elongation and toughness among all PEEK grades. It can be used continuously at temperatures up to 480°F (250°C) and is suitable for use in hot water or steam without permanent loss of physical properties. PEEK serves as a high-strength alternative to fluoropolymers in hostile environments, carrying a UL 94 V-O flammability rating and demonstrating very low smoke and toxic gas emissions when exposed to flame. The newly available black PEEK 1000 is particularly suited for instrument components where aesthetics are critical, as well as for seal components that require ductility and inertness. Ketron® PEEK is readily available in 19 locations across the USA, Singapore, and Taiwan.
