Descrizione
ThermaX™ PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the world's highest-performing polymers. PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties, making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications. In fact, it is one of the highest-performing plastics ever invented. PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties, making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications where failure is not an option.
The advantages of PEEK include:
- Inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing
- Long-term hydrolytic stability even above 250°C
- Exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols and aqueous solutions
- Low emission of smoke and toxic gases
- Excellent dimensional stability with low thermal creep, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, giving PEEK highly reproducible dimensions from part to part
- High thermal properties with Tg of 143°C, CUT of 240-260°C and Tm of 343°
Typical PEEK applications include:
- Seals, gears, bushings, bearings, components for pumps and compressors
- Industries served: automotive, aerospace, defense, semiconductors, oil and gas
Recommended print settings:
- Extruder: 375-410°C
- Bed temperature: 130-145°C
- Bed preparation: nanopolymer adhesive gives us the best results
- Heated chamber: Recommended; a heated chamber helps reduce warping and improves print success. 70-140°C if possible.
- Supports: ThermaX™ HTS High-Temp Support is designed to work with complex, high-temperature materials just like this
- Drying instructions: 120°C for 4 hours
