  PEEK Tubing Info
PEEK is a high performance engineered polymer with amazing strength and heat resistant properties. PEEK is a very rigid plastic with excellent lubricity and is tan in its natural color.

Replacement for metal
PEEK Tubing has become a popular replacement for metal in applications such as aerospace where weight is a primary concern. PEEK Tubing replaces steel, bronze, or aluminum tubing in most applications.

PEEK has also become the gold standard for HPLC analytical science applications due to its purity, high burst pressure, and chemical resistance.

Ideal replacement for stainless steel
Biocompatibility, high tensile strength, and lubricity have made PEEK tubing an ideal replacement for stainless steel in medical applications.

Key Properties

bullet Ideal stainless steel replacement for weight and chemical compatibility
bullet Exceptional torsion stability
bullet Thermoformable
bullet Resistant to gamma radiation
bullet High Burst Pressure
bullet High repeat autoclavability
