The VICTREX PEEK Polymer Portfolio
VICTREX® PEEK
Meeting customers high performance requirements
The VICTREX® PEEK polymer standard, or general purpose, product range meets the needs of customers in a variety of industries. This product line provides a unique combination of properties including mechanical strength and high temperature performance to help customers improve part functionality, gain long-term reliability and cost savings. Available in unfilled, depth-filtered, glass-filled, carbon-filled, and wear resistant grades.
Benefits of VICTREX PEEK polymer:
- Excellent strength, stiffness and dimensional stability in high temperature and harsh environments
- Easy to process and lightweight compared to steel, aluminum and titanium
- Low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance without lubrication
- Chemically resistant and insoluble in common solvents including acids, salts and oil
- Features low outgassing, low particle generation and inherent purity for reduced contamination
VICTREX® HT™
Delivering extended high temperature performance
With a glass transition temperature of 157ºC (315ºF) and a melting temperature of 374ºC (705ºF), VICTREX® HT™ offers extended high temperature performance over VICTREX® PEEK standard polymer while delivering all of the same advantages such as toughness, strength and chemical resistance. Available in filled, glass and carbon filled grades.
Benefits of VICTREX HT
- Delivers up to three times the wear resistance of VICTREX PEEK 450G standard polymer at high temperatures
- Retention of mechanical and physical properties to temperatures of 30ºC higher than VICTREX PEEK standard polymer supporting higher loads without permanent deformation
- Improved compressive strength
- A strong candidate for engine parts, sub sea connectors and heat exchanger applications
VICTREX® ST™
Delivering dimensional stability and mechanical performance at high temperatures
The innovative VICTREX® ST™ product is designed to perform in the most demanding environments specifically in applications requiring a combination of high temperature, mechanical performance and dimensional stability. It opens up new application opportunities for customers who work at temperatures over 300ºC such as in the electronics and energy industries.
Benefits of VICTREX ST polymer:
- Delivers purity, electrical resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability and low permeability/moisture absorption
- When compared to other unfilled/unreinforced polymers, shows improved mechanical performance in the 150ºC to 200ºC temperature range
- A potential metal replacement solution for applications such as seals, disk drive carriers, connectors, turbo charger impellors, test sockets and wire coatings
