| Similar to PPS,
but with a substantially expanded operating
temperature range, PEEK (PolyEtherEther-Ketone) is
a high performance advanced polymer with
outstanding physical properties. PEEK is
inherently flame retardant, with a V-0
flammability rating, will withstand continuous use
in superheated water or steam up to 500°F, and
resists most acids, solvents and bases.
PEEK is FDA approved as a food
contact product, resists damage from radiation
and will continue to perform in UHV (Ultra High
Vacuum) environments. PEEK is extensively used
in the aerospace, automotive, teletronic and
chemical process industries, and is considered
an advanced biomaterial used in medical implants
and other biomedical applications. PEEK will
withstand thousands of sterilization cycles
without damage or degradation.
Flexo PEEK expandable sleeving
is tightly braided from 10 mil filaments of
pure, unfilled PEEK polymer. The sleeving
expands to fit over connectors and splices, and
provides a full coverage over wires hoses and
cable bundles in advanced engineering
applications.
