01 / MATERIALS
PEEK vs. meta-aramid
PEEK combines near-metal performance with the low weight and flexibility of a polymer.
PARAMETER
PEEK MONOFILAMENT
META-ARAMID
Thermal stability
✓Continuous operation up to 260 °C
Best suited to heat-resistant textiles
Mechanical strength
✓High strength and stiffness
Lower structural stiffness
Chemical resistance
✓Acids, alkalis, oils and solvents
More sensitive in aggressive environments
Creep and dimensions
✓Minimal creep, stable geometry
Greater dependence on conditions
Wear and friction
✓Outstanding wear resistance
Suitable for lighter dynamic applications
RESULT
Higher performance, longer service life and reliability without compromise.
Find the right material→02 / DECISION
Maximum temperature is not the only factor.
The decision depends on chemical resistance, dimensional stability, stiffness, wear and service life. We compare materials using your actual operating data.
