Application examples
Polyaryletherketones are a high-performance polymer
group, each member of which has an array of unusual
properties and behaviours, making this a highly important
source of materials for modern technology and industry.
TECAPEEK (PEEK) plays an outstanding role among this
group.
Sliding components, guide rollers, chain guides in ovens,
tank linings, thermoformed parts, various components for
food, drinking water, medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological
use, packaging plants, semi-conductor technology
and microelectronics, nuclear and x-ray technology, gas
and oil exploration and conveying, aerospace applications,
gears and engine building
Summary
Compared to TECAPEEK (PEEK), the melting and glass
transition temperatures and strength levels of TECAPEEK
HT (PEKEKK) are higher.
Its chemical resistance is tendentially better. The hydrolysis
resistance of polyaryletherketones to superheated steam is
greater than is the case with high-temperature plastics PI
and PAI. Compared to PEI, their alkali resistance at high
temperatures is an outstanding feature.
The special materials of the TECATEC family offer extreme
mechanical strength and thermal dimensional stability due
to the carbon fibre fabric.
The PAEK-based polymer matrix also provides high resistance
to superheated steam and chemicals, making
TECATEC ideal for use in medical technology applications.
