PEEK Sheet typical usage:
PEEK Sheet is very popular in the "underground environment", this is due to an exceptional low smoke emission and an outstanding fire rating, PEEK Sheet is probably one of the best engineering plastics on the market today. PEEK Sheet is also very popular with the gas and oil industry and this is due to its sliding and wear properties as well as its impressive fire rating. PEEK Sheet is often found within the medical implant sector because it is tough, strong and will process very easily. Food processing companies are realising PEEK Sheet's advantages for their industries such as F.D.A approval as well as a strong resistance to microwaves. A key industry though is the valve and pump industry, PEEK Sheet will resist many chemicals and will withstand excessive heat. An obvious area where PEEK Sheet is proving very successful is the aerospace industry, this is for many reasons but not least because of its very low smoke emissions and high fire rating and also its very low weight in comparison with other materials. PEEK Sheet is often found within photocopiers and printers because it can withstand the high temperatures and offers a low friction, low wear solution. Because PEEK Sheet can resist the high pressure autoclave sterilization systems, you will often see PEEK Sheet chosen for surgical instruments.
