Slippery Carbon-Filled Wear- and Chemical-Resistant PEEK
- Color: Black
- Max. Temperature: 480° F
- Tensile Strength: 11,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.7 ft-lbs./in.
- Hardness: Rockwell M85 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Carbon enhances the stiffness of these rods, while the addition of PTFE ensures a slippery surface. PEEK is chemical resistant and stands up to wear caused by rubbing in repetitive processes, as well as by abrasion. It is sometimes used as a lightweight substitute for metal.

- Hardness: Rockwell R126 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D6262, UL 94 V-0
A glass filler is added to these PEEK rods for increased durability over standard PEEK in high-stress structural applications. PEEK is chemical resistant and stands up to wear caused by rubbing in repetitive processes, as well as by abrasion. It is sometimes used as a lightweight substitute for metal.

Metal-Detectable Wear- and Chemical-Resistant PEEK Rods
- Color: Blue
- Temperature Range: 0° to 480° F
- Tensile Strength: 15,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell M106 (Extra Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2415, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3297
Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue in color, you can find and remove them quickly. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
These PEEK rods resist wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They also stand up to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Since they’re lightweight, they’re often used as a substitute for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight matters.

Extreme-Pressure Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Flexibility: Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (See table for hardness rating)
- Temperature Range: See table
A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, this PEEK plastic tubing can handle extreme-pressure applications and has excellent impact resistance. It has the chemical resistance to withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line to monitor flow. It is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
Note: The walls of this tubing will permanently collapse if bent too far.
