PEEK polymer is used in SUNTECH® thrust bearings for high temperature 200°C (392°F), high load applications 8 MPa (1 ,1 60 psi) in the electrical Rotodynamic Product market. PEEK retains a high level of mechanical integrity when exposed to steam or water at elevated temperatures and pressures, allowing for an innovative alternative solution for hydropower applications. The material can be specifically adapted to applications that demand low wear and friction, high load capacity and longer service life.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Superior high temperature performance. - Retention of mechanical and physical properties to temperatures 30°C (54°F) higher compared to standard polymer. - Up to 3 times the wear resistance of standard 450 polymers at high temperatures. - Excellent long-term creep and fatigue resistance over a wide temperature range when compared to standard polymers. - Substantially higher tensile strength and flexural modulus at 250°C (482°F) when compared to standard polymers.
• Improved compressive strength.
• Features all of the same benefits found in PEEK polymer including excellent strength, impact resistance, chemical resistance, moisture and hydrolysis resistance and flame retardancy.
