PEEK Pan Head Phillips Screws

PEEK, known as polyether ether ketone, is a high-performance thermoplastic used in various engineering, aerospace, food and beverage, and oil and gas applications. It performs well in high-temperature, high-pressure environments and has several unique properties that make it one of the most commonly used polyketone polymers.

PEEK is probably the closest to a preferred material for various industries and applications. It is durable in harsh environments, and its glass and carbon-reinforced grades are more substantial than all thermoplastics at room temperature. In addition, unfilled grades of PEEK are highly resistant to most chemically aggressive environments.

To fully appreciate the many valuable properties of PEEK, the following characteristics are available:

1. Extensive Processability: PEEK is easy to process and welwell-suitedr highigh-volumemmercial applications.PEEK components can be injection-molded into extruded and injection-molded billet shapes using high-volume molds, stamped, and processed from strip billets or films.PEEK's high molecular weight and melt stability allow it to be extruded into large cross-sections such as rods greater than 200mm, plates up to 100mm, and tubes with wall thicknesses of up to 50mm. PEEK is one of the few high-performance thermoplastics that can handle the wide range of processes required to produce complex components.

2. High Wear Resistance: PEEK is known for its overall wear resistance, including abrasion, friction, and fatigue. In addition, PEEK's PTFE graphite and carbon fiber provide lower wear rates under high-pressure speed conditions.

3. Excellent Thermal Properties: PEEK has high strength and temperature resistance and does not melt until it reaches approximately 343 degrees Celsius. As a result, it can be used for long periods at temperatures up to about 250 degrees Celsius and significantly higher for short periods, far beyond the capabilities of most plastics.

4. Chemical resistance: PEEK has a wide range of chemical resistance, close to Teflon or other PTFE, but with much higher strength. This makes it popular for chemical processing and oil and gas companies.PEEK can withstand prolonged exposure to acids, acetone, alcohol, ammonia, benzene, chlorine, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, gasoline, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, MEK, methylene chloride, ozone, pentane, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and toluene.
