PEEK for Bushings
PEEK for Bushings is a PEEK plastic designed for the pump valve industry. It can be used for pump body mouth rings, shaft linings, isolation sleeves, gaskets, and other accessories. PEEK for Bushings is ideal for multistage pumps, underarm pumps, magnetic pumps, compressors, and other pumping equipment.
Key Advantages:
- PEEK for Bushings has a high strength to weight ratio.
- PEEK for Bushings has a high mechanical toughness as well as strength.
- PEEK for Bushings resists temperatures up to 350°C.
- PEEK for Bushings efficiently manages the shock and vibration caused during operation of pumps, due to the material’s ductility, as well as thermoplastic properties.
- PEEK for Bushings has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. (CTE)
- PEEK for Bushings has excellent stability.
- PEEK for Bushings is self-lubricating, with excellent wear and corrosion resistance
