High-Temperature PPS/PEEK Plastic Screws Extreme Condition Fasteners

High-Temperature PPS/PEEK Plastic Screws Extreme Condition Fasteners

PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) and PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) are high-performance engineering plastics capable of continuous operation at 200℃–260℃. With excellent acid/alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, high insulation, low smoke and high strength, they are the top choice for non-metallic fasteners in chemical, medical, semiconductor, aerospace and food machinery applications.

Material Comparison: PPS vs PEEK

  • PPS: Continuous temp 200–220℃, good chemical resistance, cost-effective
  • PEEK: Continuous temp 250–260℃, extreme chemical resistance, high strength

Key Performance

  • Ultra-high temperature resistance: PPS≈220℃, PEEK≈260℃
  • Extreme corrosion resistance: Resists strong acids, alkalis and solvents
  • High insulation: High breakdown voltage for high-frequency applications
  • High strength: Metal-like strength, good creep and fatigue resistance
  • Low smoke & non-toxic: UL94 V-0 flame rating, safe at high temperatures

Applications

  • Chemical equipment: Reactors, plating tanks, acid/alkali pipes, valves
  • Medical devices: Autoclave equipment, surgical instruments, sterile devices
  • Semiconductor: Wafer carriers, cleanroom equipment, high-temperature jigs
  • Aerospace: Lightweight structures, high-temperature cabin components
  • Food machinery: High-temperature cooking and baking equipment parts
