PEEK is a high-performance material, one of the materials with the highest strength-to-weight ratio among all engineering polymers. This material is a high-rigidity plastic with excellent lubricity and can provide an uninterrupted operating temperature of 500 °F (260 °C). PEEK can be used as a substitute for other materials, including steel, aluminum, and glass.
Because of its strength, PEEK is used in many industries, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In these analytical applications, the enhanced tensile strength can provide a higher burst pressure when extruded in the form of a tube.
When advanced catheter assemblies require higher pushability and torque, medical applications increasingly use more PEEK. In severe applications such as oil and natural gas, PEEK is usually extruded as a coating on optical fibers, and it is also extruded onto the magnets and leads of motors that require advanced insulating materials with chemical resistance and wear resistance.
Because of the strength and wear resistance of PEEK, as well as fire-resistant cables, wires, and optical fibers, the aerospace sector uses it.
Packing is provided with PTFE extrusion:
The main applications of PEEK materials are as follows:
PEEK material is used for:
The main characteristics of PEEK material are as follows:
These tables are for general guidance only. The user must evaluate the material to determine whether it is suitable for their own specific application.
Use Zeus Sub-Lite-Wall tube to expand the wall thickness of the catheter design
Zeus' fiber coating improves performance
Protect components from heat, corrosion, impact, humidity and other harsh environmental conditions
Use LCP monofilament instead of stainless steel and tungsten wire braiding
Use ultra-thin thermoplastic to make conduit lining
