* Craftech adds PEEK-HT to it's
standard line of plastic materials.

 


Un-reinforced PEEK-HT polymer
provides superior high temperature performance
while retaining mechanical and physical properties
to temperatures up to 54ºF,  higher than standard PEEK polymer.
 

       
  PEEK-HT is a novel high-performance material
developed for applications that demand
superior higher temperature resistance.
 
 


With a glass transition temperature of 315°F (157°C) and a melt temperature of 705°F

(374°C) this semi-crystalline, unreinforced polymer delivers extended high-temperature performance, while offering all the key characteristics of natural PEEK polymer, including toughness, strength and chemical resistance.

PEEK-HT also delivers up to three times the wear resistance of standard PEEK polymer (450G) at high temperatures, substantially higher tensile strength and flexural modulus at 482°F (250°C). It has exceptional resistance to chemicals, solvents and fuels, inherent low flammability, low smoke emission and good electrical properties.

This unique engineering material provides unlimited design freedom, consistent reproducibility and long-term product reliability in the most hostile of environments.
