Built on 40+ years of Victrex PEEK excellence, ZYEX ™ high-performance PEEK Fibres are for material engineers, R&D teams and product designs who demand reliable solutions in extreme temperature, chemical and mechanical environments.
When traditional material fail in aerospace and automotive applications, chemical processing systems and industrial filtration ZYEX ™ Fibres deliver consistent performance.
Excellent high temperature performance:
See details of other thermal properties and compare the Victrex polymer grades:
Excellent resistance to a very wide range of chemicals over a range of temperatures, retaining high levels of mechanical strength and generally with little swelling or discolouration.
Excellent strength, stiffness, long-term creep and fatigue properties.
See details of mechanical properties and compare the Victrex polymer grades:
High abrasion and cut through resistance combined with a low coefficient of friction.
Victrex materials are used for tribological components due to their outstanding resistance to wear in high pressure and velocity environments.
Interlacing yarns to create a more flexible tubular strength that can be used as protective covering
Created by joining loops of Fibre, which create a more flexible fabric
Usually Multifilament product. Twisted in an Z or S direction for strength and flexibility
Processing options also include, Rewinding, Warping, Texturising, Narrow/Standard Weaving, Comingling, Staple and Composite
No special equipment required - Works with standard textile machinery
Consistent processing - Reliable feed rates and minimal waste
Post-processing stability - Maintains properties through finish operations
Scalable production - From prototype to high-volume manufacturing
Wide or narrow woven belts
