PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

Chemicals which interact with PEEK polymer are not pH dependent; rather, interaction is more determined by other physical properties of the chemical(s) in question. Not recommended for use with nitric acid; sulfuric acid; halogenated acids, such as hydrofluoric, hydrobromic, and hydroiodic acids (hydrochloric acid is approved for most applications); and pure halogenated gases. Additionally, due to a swelling effect, be cautious in using the following solvents with PEEK tubing: methylene chloride, THF, and DMSO.

Thread Strength Excellent
Oxygen Permeability 14cc / 100in2 * 24h * atm / mil @ 25° C
pH Range 0 - 14
Sterilization Techniques gamma irradiation; ethylene oxide; thermal
Autoclavable? Y
