PEEK Valve Plate

Valve plate is a key component in reciprocatingcompressors which has a direct impact on efficiency and reliability ofcompressor.When steel valve plate is used with its significantly short servicelife, steel splinters could cause serious damage to the cylinder, piston andpiston ring if the valve plate breaks. 

Polyetheretherketone(PEEK) is an ideal material for replacement of stainless steel valve plate asit has been established in applications under demanding thermal and mechanicalload thus qualifying for valve plate application.

PEEK is resistant towide variety of chemicals which are likely to be present in compressorapplication

Advantages : 

• Ithas high temperature thresholds that ensure
• retention and stability of load-bearing properties
• and dimensions at high temperature.
• Good chemical and hydrolysis resistance
• Resists deformation at high temperature.
• Excellentmachinability.
• Excellentdimensional stability.
