Spectrum is a PEEK Tubing Supplier

PEEK tubing is a lightweight, strong and durable material that has replaced metal in many applications. This is due to its excellent mechanical and physical properties, as well as its chemical resistance and heat tolerance.

PEEK materials has been the preferred polymer for extruded tubing that is used in demanding markets such as medical devices, and Spectrum has the capabilities, technologies and experience to process this high-performance polymer. We understand the challenge of delivering quality extruded plastic products that will provide optimum function and longevity.

Extruded PEEK Tubes for Lab Techs and Engineers

PEEK extruded tubing is a versatile, customizable solution that is ideal for high-pressure and liquid applications that require precise dimensions. It is available in an extensive range of IDs, with sizes ranging down to 0.002" (0.0508 mm) smaller than standard stainless steel tubing. This allows users to use specialized fittings, and avoid the risk of leaks or flow obstacles.

Natural PEEK Tubes Without Dye

PEEK natural tubing is a good choice for applications that require chemical and biological purity. It is also resistant to corrosive and high-temperature conditions, making it an excellent choice for fluid transfer.

Striped Color-Coded PEEK Tubing

This type of PEEK tubing has a stripe added to the outside, which prevents dye from coming into contact with the fluid stream. This feature can be very important for medical applications where contamination is a concern. See page: https://www.chromtech.com/peek-tubing to learn more about PEEK tubing.

Burst Strength of PEEK Tubes

One of the main reasons that PEEK tubing is so popular in high-pressure environments is its tensile strength. In some cases, even tubing with an internal diameter of 0.005" (0.127 mm) can hold up to 6,000 psi.

Chemical and Biological Resistant

This is another major advantage that PEEK offers over metal tubes. It is also resistant to many chemical and biological substances such as methylene chloride, DMSO, THF, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other corrosive and aggressive chemicals.

Besides its physical and chemical characteristics, PEEK tubing is also very lightweight, allowing it to be transported and stored in compact forms. This is especially useful in labs where space may be a premium.

Wire Harness, Booster and Aircraft Connectors

The dielectric properties of PEEK tubing mean it can be a valuable insulator for wire harnesses and boosters that carry high voltages and other dangerous elements. This is especially true for electric motors, where it can be used to insulate motor components.

Electrical Insulation & Protection

PEEK tubing can also be used to insulate and protect wires that are inside automotive and aerospace vehicles, or in any application where the insulation needs to be able to withstand high temperatures, pressures, exposure to chemicals, and other stresses. Our PEEK Lay-Flat(tm) and PEEKShrink(tm) are particularly useful for this application because of their excellent electrical insulation.

In addition to its insulating and protecting properties, PEEK tubing is an excellent choice for mandrel coverings that require a smooth surface for easy assembly. It is a great option for connectors, as well as a wide range of other parts where the material can provide a protective and insulating layer that will reduce weight and help to keep engine components cool. For additional details regarding this topic, check out this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolithic_HPLC_column.
