ADVANTAGES
Excellent chemical resistance
PLASTMASS™ PEEK - It is very resistant to most organic and inorganic chemical compounds. It is also resistant to alcohols, automotive and aircraft fuel, lubricating oils, cleaning agent, acids and alkalis, hydrolysis of hot water and steam, UV and energy radiation.
Use of modified types of PLASTMASS™ PEEK in case of strong UV-radiation is recommended!
Physiological safety
PLASTMASS™ PEEK ploymers are approved for direct food contact. There are no restrictions on the type of food, or duration of contact with the material.
