Elekem manufactures PEEK tube under the trade name TECAPEEK SM Natural. PEEK material is a semi-crystalline, high performance engineering thermoplastic offering:
- High long term service temperature (260oC)
- Low tendency to creep, even at high temperatures
- High strength, hardness and rigidity
- Very good chemical resistance
- Hydrolysis resistance
- Low thermal expansion
- Very good dimensional stability
- Excellent sliding friction properties
- Good electrical insulation
Therefore, using TECAPEEK SM natural offers the opportunity of manufacturing parts that are lighter and stronger with the ability to operate longer in harsh environments.
