PEEK Seals Can Withstand Very High Temperatures
PEEK or polyetheretherketone, is a thermoplastic that is linear aromatic semi crystalline that was created in the 1960s. It is considered to be one of highest performing materials that can be processed on regular thermoplastic equipment. This material has a melting point of approximately 650 degrees Farenheight. It can be used at a continuous temperature of 500 degrees. This makes it an excellent chose for high pressure seals, as well as high temperature seals. They can take a high level of stress during their lifetime. PEEK seals also offer properties that are resistant to water and chemicals, as well as the ability to work at very high temperatures. Other seals may break down at these high temperatures. These PEEK seals can be repeatedly heated and cooled repeatedly without showing signs…
