PEEK Shrink Tube

The Dexnyl PEEK filaments of BIEGLO is a high performance product made by melt spinning. Semicrystalline PEEK has high tensile strength, it is exceptionally resistant to chemicals and can withstand extreme temperatures. These features ensure a longer product life, lower maintenance costs, less machine downtime and wider material design options compared to steel or aluminum parts. PEEK filaments can be used very well for 3D printing. Printing with PEEK requires 360 ° C to 380 ° C. So far, only specially modified 3D printers are able to achieve this heat. Sliced ​​woven and/or unidirectional fibers significantly reinforce matrix material and are a popular additive for composites. PEEK filaments are also used on musical instruments, rackets and wide or narrow woven straps, filtration mesh fabrics and sewing threads. Due to their low weight and high temperature resistance, PEEK filaments are popular in many other industies, such as automotive and aerospace industries.

The Dexnyl PEEK tubes can be an intelligent solution for round and hollow pieces. They are mostly extruded or compression molded. But BIEGLO GmbH offers also injection molded PEEK tubes and spin casting PEEK tubes in long and short length and special thin wall tubes. Parts made-up of our PEEK offer excellent hydrolysis and electrical insulation. PEEK is the ideal replacement for metal and other plastics due to its high temperature resistance of up to 240°C , excellent chemical and wear resistance. Our range of PEEK tubes starts with 25mm up to 1.480mm (external diameter); 20mm up 1.300mm (internal diameter). Our PEEK tubes are also available made of compounded PEEK.

BIEGLO can offer a variety of PEEK compounds, both as raw material and as semi-finished product. PEEK compounds can be supplied with carbon or glass fibers as well as with PTFE and tribological compounds with a mix of PEEK, PTFE, carbon fibers and graphite. In addition, PEEK color compounds can also be supplied. PEEK-CF30 impresses with its outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. The carbon fibers provide increased stiffness, creep resistance and better thermal conductivity. Furthermore, PEEK-CF30 has exceptional resistance to hydrolysis in boiling water or hot steam. PEEK-GF30 impresses with its improved mechanical strength and high rigidity. In addition, the creep resistance and dimensional stability is increased. The glass fibers provide increased life in high static and high temperature applications over a long period of time. PEEK-GF30 does not dissolve in common solvents and resists high gamma rays.

Polyetherimide has recently joined the BIEGLO portfolio. Our sales portfolio for PEI contains rods and sheets from 8mm to 100mm diameter. As well as, PEI thin films below 1mm thickness. The maximum width is 1200mm for sheets and film. Polyetherimide is an amorphous thermoplastic and part of the polyimide family. It has excellent dimensional accuracy over a wide temperature range and has low thermal expansion. PEI is naturally flame retardant and has a fire rating of UL94 V-0. The most common applications of PEI are in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and electronics industry as well as precision engineering.
