VESTAKEEP® PEEK – Protection from Heat and Friction

Suitable grades for monofilaments and fibers are

• VESTAKEEP^® 2000 G
• VESTAKEEP^® 2000 G black
• VESTAKEEP^® L4000 G

The special features of VESTAKEEP^® PEEK monofilaments and fibers are

• extremely high toughness
• excellent abrasion resistance
• resistance to high temperatures

Resistance to high temperatures

Woven into fabric, monofilaments made from VESTAKEEP^® PEEK can be used in special conveyor belts for drying or heat-treating products that are continuously conveyed lying on their surface. Familiar applications for PEEK are the production of webs, textiles drying, food processing, and powder transport.

High-pressure dewatering

Monofilaments made of PEEK that are woven into multilayers resist high-pressure dewatering of chemical slurries or the consolidation of fiber composite sheets by means of heat. They are used both for air (hot gas) filtration and as a resilient layer or high-temperature cover layer for a conventional felt surface to prevent fire due to friction.

Protection for electric cables

VESTAKEEP^® PEEK flexes protect electric cables from abrasion damage, particularly at extreme temperatures, as well as in special areas of automotive and nuclear installations. VESTAKEEP^® PEEK monofilaments protect both inner cables and cable bundles against mechanical influences, even at high temperatures.

Good resilience

VESTAKEEP^® PEEK bristles show good resilience and functionality in hot or chemically aggressive environments. Unlike other materials, they retain their stiffness especially in the temperature range between 100 and 150°C.
