FILLED PEEK

Carbon-Filled PEEK

Carbon-fibre-filled VICTREX™ PEEK is commonly used in applications where a superior strength/weight ratio is required. Carbon-filled PEEK backup rings are used in various applications across multiple industries. The material has excellent strength, and it is commonly being used in high-performance motor racing as components created with the material have a lower weight than their metal counterparts (and also offers the benefits of less water and electricity used during manufacturing). The construction industry also uses carbon fibre filled VICTREX™ PEEK to reinforce a range of concrete, masonry, steel, cast iron and timber structures.

Glass-Filled PEEK

The addition of a glass fibre filler in Virgin PEEK significantly increases strength at elevated temperatures, making it ideal for structural applications that require superior strength or stability at temperatures of around 300°F. Glass filler will significantly lower PEEK material’s expansion rate. In critical applications, VICTREX™ glass-filled PEEK can withstand high temperatures, and does so in extreme chemical environments. Glass-filled PEEK’s features and benefits make it a popular choice in the oil & gas industry. See glass-filled peek material properties below:
