Engineered to be Tough

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is an engineering thermoplastic known for its versatility, mechanical strength, and resistance to harsh chemicals. If you need a tough, rigid material for components where thermal, chemical, and combustion properties are critical, Arlon® PEEK is for you. This material retains its stiffness and strength under high pressure and extreme temperatures and is often used as the body for electrical connectors and sealing solutions across a wide range of industries.

Reduce Wear and Tear

Avalon® fluoropolymersare built for speed. If your application requires nonabrasive contact surfaces, high-temperature contact, low deformation under load, and strong chemical resistance at high surface speeds, this is the material for you. The base material provides unparalleled lubricity and can be customized with additives for enhanced resistance to wear and elements.

A Custom-engineered Thermoplastic for Industry’s Most Demanding Applications

Backed by over 30 years of experience in high-pressure, high-temperature oilfield applications, this crosslinked PEEK thermoplastic delivers proven stability in some of the harshest industrial conditions in the world. And it’s not just for Oil & Gas applications – Arlon® 3000 XT can be molded into custom seals, insulators, stock shapes, electrical connectors, and other custom geometries for a wide range of critical applications where equipment failure is not an option.
