PEEK Adhesive Tape – Overview and Features

PEEK Adhesive Tape – Overview and Features

PEEK Adhesive Tape Overview:

Discover the exceptional qualities of PEEK adhesive tape, a robust material renowned for its remarkable combination of friction and wear properties, high-temperature resistance, chemical resilience, and outstanding electrical insulation. PEEK tape is the ideal choice for a wide array of applications, including gaskets, aerospace components, high-performance labels, solder masking, oil field equipment, semiconductor processing equipment, and more. Engineers and designers find PEEK tape to be a superior alternative to both PTFE and PI tape, as it offers higher tensile strength, greater toughness, enhanced wear performance, and lower density when compared to PTFE tape. In comparison to PI tape, VICTREX PEEK tape exhibits lower moisture absorption, excels in strong alkaline environments, and boasts higher tear strength. PEEK tape can endure continuous operating temperatures up to 220°C (428°F) and even higher temperatures for short durations. It maintains its electrical properties across a wide frequency and temperature range and can withstand over 109 rads of radiation exposure without embrittlement. Additionally, PEEK tape demonstrates excellent chemical resistance to solvents, acids, bases, fuels, and hydrocarbons, even at elevated temperatures. It meets various aerospace, automotive, food/water, medical/pharmaceutical, and military/nuclear approvals and standards.
