New Black Grade of KetronŽ Peek Stock Shapes

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products has added to its inventory a new, black polyetheretherketone (PEEK). It is the latest addition to its unique range of these high-performance materials, which feature chemical- and stress-cracking resistance at elevated temperatures and long-term, high-mechanical strength. The new grade, KetronŽ PEEK 1000 Black, is ideal for machining critical components, where aesthetics are important.

The material offers outstanding steam and wear resistance: products machined from it can be used continuously to 480°F (250°C) in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. The material has a continuous service temperature, in air, of 480° F (with-out load), and it has a V-O flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame.

Other key features include: very low moisture-absorption; inherently good wear- and abrasion-resistance and excellent chemical resistance. The material is resistant to weak acids, alkalies, ketones, ethers, esters (acetone), hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, alcohols and inorganic salt solutions.

KetronŽ PEEK 1000 Black is now available from stock in a broad range of rod diameters, with special sizes and shapes available on a make-to-order basis.
