Materials

The right gasket not only depends on the geometry, but the optimum choice of material is also an important prerequisite for service life and cost-effectiveness. Whether HFA, HFB or HFC, we have the right material for the highest demands.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, simply contact us. Today, materials can be modulated in such a way that almost anything can be achieved.

Whether it is a PU in the automotive sector from -50°C to + 140°C, or the material is exposed to acids and alkalis in a wide range of temperature ranges:

  • We know the material
    and if not –
  • we develop it

also with approvals such as FDA, UPS san class, TSE, KTW, W 320 …..

Polyetheretherketone (abbreviated to PEEK) is a high-temperature resistant thermoplastic and belongs to the polyaryletherketone group of substances. Its melting temperature is 335 °C.

PEEK is resistant to almost all organic and inorganic chemicals. It is also resistant to hydrolysis up to around 280 °C. However, it is not resistant to UV radiation, concentrated nitric acid, generally acidic oxidizing conditions and to some halogenated hydrocarbons and aliphatic hydrocarbons at higher temperatures. It dissolves completely in concentrated sulphuric acid at room temperature.
