Mandatory requirements for aerospace polymers are weight reduction to lower fuel costs, excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability, and the ability to meet industry standards and specifications regarding flame, smoke, and toxicity emissions. High-performance VICTREX PEEK polymer is increasingly being specified as it meets these and other rigid requirements especially in metal replacement opportunities across multiple aircraft platforms. It combines these product characteristics and the processing flexibility that is delivering increased efficiency and parts consolidation to lower costs. Besides excellent high temperature and flammability performance, VICTREX PEEK polymer meets another key requirement for aerospace polymers - the ability to maintain its properties while withstanding extreme chemical environments including jet fuels and hydraulic fluids.
VICTREX PEEK polymer has exceptional resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and hydrocarbons allowing for longer-lasting components. Tests have demonstrated that soaking VICTREX PEEK compounds in 70°C (158°F) Skydrol hydraulic fluid for 1,000 hours led to less than a 10% change in nominal properties. These tests are backed by more than 20 years of proven performance in both commercial and military aircraft where VICTREX PEEK polymer is specified in hydraulic and fuel system components.
