PEEK for sealing: reliable sealing solutions

◆In the environment of seawater, hydrocarbons, and 100% hydrogen sulfide gas, the strength retention rate reaches 100% after a high temperature of 175°C for 1000 hours

◆Double the compressive capacity of PTFE

◆Creep resistance is 300 times higher than that of PTFE

◆Compared with PTFE, the ability to resist compression and creep is 18 times higher

◆Instead of metal springs, reducing the risk caused by seal wear and contact with the well wall (energy-absorbing springs)

In some industries, including oil and gas, the primary use of PEEK is to provide mechanical support for softer sealing materials such as elastomers and fluoropolymers, while in others the material's properties make it Ideal as a primary seal.
