PEEK SL (Polyether ether ketone filled solid lubricants)

PEEK-SL main properties.

Polyether ether ketone filled GRAPHITE, PTFE and CARBON FIBERS is an ultra high performance bearing material that incorporates the main properties of vergin PEEK, with a superior quality additives thought to improve wear resistance. This PEEK modified increase temperature range approximately 4°C and increases the limiting PV too, while maintaining excellent chemical resistance.

Thanks to its tribological properties, it is ideal for dry use or for components born to be used in critical environments. It is ideally suited for technical bearing and wear applications.

Miscellaneous information.

PEEK-SL is available upon request and only in black colour.
