Ketron PEEK 1000® is produced from virgin polyetheretherketone resin and offers the highest toughness and impact resistance of all types of Ketron PEEK. Both natural and black Ketron PEEK 1000 ® can be sterilized by all conventional sterilization methods (steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation). The composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Ketron PEEK 1000 ® is also FDA compliant for plastic materials and parts intended for food contact.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [250 °C continuously, up to 310 °C for short periods of time]
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also at elevated temperatures
Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Excellent wear and frictional behaviour
- Very good dimensional stability
- Excellent resistance to high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays]
- Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties [except for Ketron HPV PEEK and CA30 PEEK]
APPLICATIONS
- Pump components
- Valve seats
- Bearings
- Rollers
