TECACOMP PEEK TRM PVX black 1046944
Proven problem solver made of PEEK for tribological bearing applications
TECACOMP PEEK TRM PVX black is a high-performance PEEK compound that has been specially developed for high-performance tribological applications. Based on polyetheretherketone, the PEEK granulate offers an excellent combination of temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical stability. The material can be used continuously at temperatures up to 260°C and short term at temperatures up to 300°C. Additionally, it reliably resists hot steam, hydrolysis, and aggressive media.
The addition of carbon fibres mechanically reinforces the PEEK compound, resulting in an increase in elastic modulus, strength, and toughness. Graphite and PTFE also provide intrinsic solid lubrication. This makes the material ideal for sliding and friction systems – even when running dry. It also exhibits very good wear resistance, low friction coefficients, and high dimensional stability under thermal and mechanical stress. The material represents a balanced solution in the conflict between friction and wear optimisation.
TECACOMP PEEK TRM PVX black is preferably processed in PEEK plastic injection moulding and is used in applications in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation, especially in bearing and guide elements with the highest requirements.
