VICTREX® PEEK WG101 Victrex Polyetheretherketone

Product Description

High performance thermoplastic material, PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), semi crystalline, granules for injection moulding, easy flow, reinforced with wear additives, colour black. WG101 does not contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or other halogenated additives.

Tribological applications with thin cross sections or long flow lengths, with higher strength and stiffness. Excellent wear resistance, very low coefficient of friction and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Chemically resistant to aggressive environments.
