VICTREX PEEK is the polymer of choice for a wide range of aerospace applications.

In full compliance with stringent aircraft safety standards, VICTREX PEEK offers an outstanding combination of physical and thermal characteristics at lighter weights and consistent ease of processing. Large volume components with tight tolerances can be produced cost-effectively and used without assembly or modification.

The VICTREX PEEK Advantage:

• Reduced costs when switching from machined metal to injection-molded parts
• Mechanical properties retained close to the material’s melting temperature
• Wear and friction resistance in special tribological grades
• Low flammability
• Limiting oxygen index
• Resistance to chemicals, solvents and fuels
• Optimum ratio of mechanical strength and stiffness to ductility
• Excellent creep and fatigue resistance over a wide temperature range

VICTREX PEEK provides aircraft exterior parts excellent resistance to rain erosion. For aircraft interior components, its inherent flame retardancy and low smoke and toxic gas emission reduce the hazards in the event of a fire. Parts made of the material can be manufactured using a wide range of melt processes from injection molding and extrusion to coatings and films.
