Especially significant in this regard is TECAPEEK™'s ability to retain its flexural and tensile properties at very high temperatures-in excess of 250C (482F). The addition of glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcements enhances the mechanical and thermal properties of the basic TECAPEEK™ material.

TECAPEEK™ properties:

• Excellent flexural, impact, and tensile characteristics
• Very high continuous working temperature
• Very high heat distortion temperature
  For unreinforced TECAPEEK™, the HDT is 160C (320F). The addition of 30% reinforcement results in a dramatic increase to 315C (599F).
• Exceptional chemical resistance. TECAPEEK™ is insoluble in all common solvents.
• A superior dielectric at high temperatures and frequencies.
• Good radiation resistance. TECAPEEK™ exhibits superior resistance to high doses of gamma radiation.
• Outstanding wear and abrasion resistance.
• Low smoke and toxic gas emissions.
• Excellent hydrolysis resistance. TECAPEEK™ has an excellent resistance to hydrolysis in boiling water and superheated steam (sterilization/auto clavability) at temperatures in excess of 250C (482F).

TECAPEEK™'s exceptional property profile enables it to be utilized in many of the most critical areas in general industry, as well as in the automotive, marine, nuclear, oil well, electronics, medical and aerospace fields.
