PFLUON PEEK® polymer is a kind of special engineering plastic with excellent performances such as high temperature resistance, self-lubricating property, easy processing and high mechanical strength. Compared with other special engineering plastics, PFLUON PEEK® has the following characteristics:
- High-Temperature Resistance -
- Glass transition temperature of PFLUON PEEK: 143℃
- Melting point: 343℃
- Load deformation temperature: 316℃ (30% GF or CF reinforced type)
- Continuous use temperature: 260℃.
- It owns excellent thermal stability, thermal.
- Mechanical Characteristics - PFLUON PEEK is a sort of material having both toughness and stiffness in balance. Its fatigue resistance to the alternating stress can match that of alloy materials, belongs the optimum one among plastic materials.
- Abrasive Resistance - PFLUON PEEK has the outstanding sliding property, excellent abrasion resistance and non-winding property, which is applicable for those that require fine abrasion resistance and low frictional coefficient (0.15-0.30). Carbon fiber, graphite, PTFE
- Chemical Resistance - PFLUON PEEK owns the outstanding properties in resisting acid, alkali, oxidant, hydrocarbon, salt, steam, oil, liquid, etc. Its chemical resistance is better than that of many special metals, similar to nickel steel.
- Fire Resistance - No flame retardant added, it can reach UL94 V-0 standard. Under the burning condition, it releases rather lower smoke, dust and toxic gas contents.
- Fatigue Durability - PFLUON PEEK holds the optimum fatigue resistance among all resins.
- Radiation Resistance - When the exposure surpasses 109 rad, it does not crisp, but allows X-ray to permeate(radiability), whenγexposure is in 1100Mrad, it still maintains the good insulatibity.
- Hydrolytic Resistance - Its stretch or bending property basically keeps unchanged after 2,500 hours under steam conditions of temperature 200℃ and pressure 1.4 MPa. It can endure high-pressure steam sterilization.
- Insulation - PFLUON PEEK resin has the fine electrical insulation properties at wide temperature range, its dielectric loss is very low at high frequency.
- Workability - The processing modes include injection, extrusion, mold pressing, blow molding, spinning, powder spraying.

- Application
- PFLUON Peek is easy for processing - PFLUON PEEK can be processed with traditional thermoplastic plastics processing equipment. The unfilled and filled brands can be supplied in granular, powder or ultrafine powder form. Granular material is generally recommended to be processed in the form of injection molding, extrusion molding, monofilament and envelope. The powder is suitable for injection molding, while ultrafine powder is often used in coating, composite prepreg and compression molding.
- Injection Molding - Most standard reciprocating screw injection molding machines can be used to process unfilled and filled PFLUON PEEK brands, and to produce on a large scale complicated and high performance components without any need of annealing or regular machining. PFLUON experts can provide assistances in design and process variables (such as machine design, barrel capacity, screw, and mold and gate design).
- Extrusion Molding - Essentially, PEEK polymer processing technologies allow molding with special device after extrusion. These technologies include manufacturing of electric wire, profile extrusion, film, sheet, and monofilament.
- Compression Molding - In compression molding, the powder, granular or fiber plastics are put in mold cavity under mold temperature first, and then the mold is closed up to pressurize and make it formed and solidified. Compression molding can be applied in thermosetting plastic, thermoplastic plastics and rubber material. In producing a small amount of parts or large parts, PEEK usually adopts compression molding.
