DOCAPEEK MT: Developed for medical and food applications. High purity, physiologically neutral, resistant to high energy radiation, chemical and steam sterilization.
high mechanical strength (75 - 130 MPa) and hardness,
high upper application temperature limit (250-310 °C ),
high load capacity even at high temperatures,
excellent wear resistance in a wide range of operating conditions (for composites),
high dimensional stability and stiffness at high temperatures,
durable flame resistance and low smoke formation in case of fire,
good electrical insulation and favourable dielectric behaviour (if free of carbon fibre, graphite),
good resistance to strong radioactive radiation,
resistance to ageing.
The properties of PEEK make it an ideal material for use in areas with extreme stress: very low or high temperatures, high chemical exposure, intense radiation, particularly high loads. PEEK can be used in a very wide range of applications: e.g. in conventional mechanical engineering, aeronautics, nuclear, chemical and electrical industries, transport and other advanced engineering fields. It is used to make gears, pump elements, seals, valve seats, sliding elements, distribution pumps, appliance elements in the mechanical, medical device, aerospace, nuclear, chemical, electrical and automotive industries.
Chipping (turning, milling, drilling, sawing): carbide and diamond tools should be used. Cooling is recommended, with cutting speeds e.g. v = 250-500 m/min for turning and milling, v = 10-30 m/min for drilling.
Gluing: is feasible.
