Specified for both medical and dental applications, the Texfluor Peek tubing line of tubing can withstand all standard sterilization methods, including gamma irradiation. The tubing resists abrasion and crushing and offers high flexural modulus, allowing the ultra-thin wall tubing to handle the same strength-to-weight ratio as heavier wall types of tubing. The extremely hard, smooth material is USP Class VI-compliant and UL94 V-O rated and exhibits high hydrolytic resistance. Offering 260°F continuous and 500°F maximum service temperature, Texfluor Peek tubing touts a tensile strength of approximately 14,065 to 14,500 psi. Engineers can choose from sizes ranging from 0.031 (ID) x 0.010 in. (wall) to 1.0 (ID) x 0.035 (wall). Tolerance levels are ۪.002 in. and ۪.007 in., respectively. Suitable applications include endoscope and laparoscope parts, catheters, cardio guide wires, dialysis components, and dental instruments. Pricing varies according to size, quantity, and other customer requirements.
