PEEK tubing
Peek tubing refers to tubes made from a high-performance polymer called Polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Here's a breakdown of its properties and uses:
Properties of PEEK Tubing:
- High Strength and Temperature Resistance: PEEK can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for demanding applications.
- Chemical Resistance: PEEK is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including harsh solvents and acids.
- Good Wear Resistance: It has good wear properties, making it suitable for applications where the tubing will experience friction or abrasion.
- Biocompatible: Certain grades of PEEK are biocompatible, meaning they can be used in medical applications without causing harm to the body.
- Flame Retardant: Some grades of PEEK are flame retardant, making them suitable for use in safety-critical applications.
