Ketron® 1000 IM - chemical resistant PEEK

Ketron® 1000 Injection Molded (IM) Polyetheretherketone PEEK shapes offer excellent chemical, corrosion, and wear resistance across a wide range of operating temperatures. Ideal for applications within the oil and gas industry, Ketron® 1000 IM PEEK components are often specified for backup seal rings and v-seals. In addition to the widely used Ketron 1000 PEEK grade, several specific grades are available that incorporate glass or carbon fibers, or wear resistant additives that increase the wear life of machined parts. It is easily machined and has unrivaled chemical resistance compared to all other advanced engineering materials. 30% glass fiber filled and 30% carbon fiber filled grades are available
