Features & Benefits

Features
  • Radiation resistance

Z-PEEK is resistant to radiation. It has been proven to withstand over 46 months of exposure to Low Earth Orbit environment without shielding.

  • Extreme temperatures

A pump printed with Z-PEEK can operate in a wide range of temperatures. It can be safely heated up to 250 °C and cooled down to -100 °C.

  • Abrasion resistance

Z-PEEK is a great filament for heavy-duty mechanical parts. Can be used for printing gears or components for polymer-metal sliding systems.
