PEEK, a linear semi-crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered the highest performing thermoplastic material due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure, and caustic fluids. Now Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with the introduction of PEEKshrink™ – PEEK heat-shrinkable tubing.

PEEK, a linear, semi–crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered one of the highest performing thermoplastic materials; it can withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure and caustic fluids. Now, Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with PEEKshrink™. PEEKshrink™ provides a shrink-to-fit layer of protection for sensitive components and critical connections. PEEKshrink™ is an ideally suited product for challenging environments such as oil and gas exploration where abrasion, intense pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to wires and electrical components. PEEKshrink™ is an obvious and optimal splicing aid for PEEK insulated wire. PEEKshrink™ is an alternative to traditional fluoropolymer protective coatings with its very wide working temperature range.

Lay-Flat™ tubing can be extruded from multiple polymers including FEP, PE, PEEK, as well as others upon request. Lay-Flat™ tubing allows thin walled tubing to be shipped in long continuous lengths on spools without kinking and be processed in downstream manufacturing more easily. Lay-Flat™ tubing's compact form simplifies shipping and can be used in various applications that require an added layer of protection. For example the energy industry utilizes PEEK Lay-Flat™ tubing that is further cut and formed as slot liners and phase insulation for advanced motor insulation. The PEEK Lay-Flat™ tubing is rated at 260 °C. PEEK Lay-Flat™ is chemicaly resistant and can replace traditional Nomex® materials for higher performance motor applications.
