PEEK tubing: the ultimate lightweight alternative to stainless steel

PEEK is a high-performance engineered polymer that is well known for its very high degree of hardness even at elevated temperatures. PEEK tubing has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any thermoplastic and the strength required to withstand continuous use at HPLC pressure. The chemical and mechanical properties of PEEK allow it to be used in many situations where stainless steel would become too reactive.

PEEK's smooth internal surface also reduces the risk of dilution and improves the resolution of sample bands. Due to its high purity, PEEK tubes do not leech out damaging ‘extractables’ and is very effective in the trace analysis of complex fluids. PEEK tubing is designed specifically for modern LC, LCMS and automation usage.
