PEEK Balls – Overview, Features, and Benefits
PEEK Balls (thermoplastic) PEEK, or PolyEtherEther-Ketone, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional properties. PEEK 450G (also referred to as Victrex PEEK 450G) offers impressive chemical and water resistance akin to PPS (PolyPhenylene Sulfide), yet excels at higher temperature applications. PEEK can maintain its integrity even when used continuously up to 480°F (250°C), including exposure to hot water or steam. In demanding conditions, PEEK serves as a robust alternative to fluoropolymers, boasting a V-0 flammability rating and minimal smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flames.
Outstanding Properties for Bearings and Seals in Challenging Environments.
