Dr. Kevin Bigham, Technical Writer for Zeus Industrial Products, discusses more about fluoropolymers and PEEK and how their features can guide you to your best drawn fiber solution.
With PVDF serving as a kind of “gateway” fluoropolymer, understanding the properties of related fluoropolymers becomes less of a mystery. Indeed, closer examination of fluoropolymers such as FEP, ETFE, PFA, and ECTFE provide valuable insights that explain their properties. This basic understanding can be applied to other fluoropolymers to aid end users in selecting the best material for their application.
PEEK has long been renowned for performance properties that rival many fluoropolymers. PEEK’s ether-ketone structure presents a different perspective to attain high-performing properties without the use of fluorine. Join us as we explore these differences and similarities among drawn fiber fluoropolymers and PEEK and how these relate to the final performance of the fiber.
