PEEK Chemical Compatibility
Polyetherether Ketone (PEEK) Chemical Compatibility Chart: Check the chemical compatibility of PEEK with various chemicals, solvents, alcohols and other products.
PEEK is compatible with almost any of the solvents used in HPLC. The only solvents which will attack PEEK are concentrated nitric acid and sulphuric acids. However, PEEK tubing can safely withstand 20-30% nitric acid when passivating a system. Methylene chloride, DMSO, and THF may cause swelling in PEEK.
Please Note: The information in this chart has been supplied by reputable sources and is to be used ONLY as a guide in selecting equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility. ALWAYS test your equipment under the specific conditions of your application before permanent installation.
Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this chart apply at a 48-hr exposure period. We have no knowledge of possible effects beyond this period. We do not warrant (neither express nor implied) that the information in this chart is accurate or complete or that any material is suitable for any purpose.
