Ketron® MD PEEK

Ketron® MD PEEK is a semicrystalline, metal detectable, polyetheretherketone [PEEK] grade. Exhibits excellent chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, very low moisture absorption, good wear- & abrasion- resistance and remains unaffected by continuous exposure to hot water or steam. Provides excellent combination of thermal resistance and high compressive strength. Has good electrical insulating & dielectric properties, very good dimensional stability, inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion. Also exhibits excellent resistance to high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays], high mechanical strength, good impact/stiffness ratio and creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Suitable for food approved parts requiring high stiffness without reinforcement. Used in pump components, valve seats, bearings, rollers, gears, high temperature insulators, components exposed to boiling water or steam.
