Ketron™ IM 1000 PEEK (injection molded) shapes offer excellent chemical, corrosion and wear resistance across a wide range of operating temperatures. Ideal for applications within the oil and gas industry, Ketron™ IM 1000 PEEK components are often specified for backup seal rings and v-seals. In addition to the widely used Ketron 1000 PEEK grade, several specific grades are available that incorporate glass or carbon fibers, or wear-resistant additives that increase the wear life of machined parts. It is easily machined and has unrivaled chemical resistance compared to all other advanced engineering materials. 30% glass fiber-filled and 30% carbon fiber-filled grades are available
