Benefits of PEEK Seals
- Exceptional Strength & Rigidity: Withstands extreme loads and mechanical stress without deforming.
- High Temperature Resistance: Performs consistently in temperatures up to 480°F (250°C), with peak performance at intermittent exposure above that.
- Chemical & Hydrolysis Resistance: Resists harsh chemicals, steam, and high-purity cleaning agents.
- Wear & Abrasion Resistance: Ideal for dynamic sealing in rotating or reciprocating equipment.
- Creep and Fatigue Resistance: Maintains structural integrity under long-term stress and high-pressure applications.
PEEK Seal Applications
- Aerospace & Defense Systems: Used in actuators, valves, and fuel systems where durability is non-negotiable.
- Oil & Gas Exploration: Performs in aggressive downhole environments, including high-pressure and corrosive wells.
- Semiconductor & Electronics: Ultra-clean and thermally stable, suitable for plasma chambers and high-vacuum processes.
- Medical & Pharmaceutical Equipment: Biocompatible options available for surgical devices and fluid handling systems.
- Industrial Equipment: Seals in pumps, compressors, and valves for chemical processing or high-load mechanical systems.
