VIRGIN VICTREX PEEK with 30% Glass fibre filler dramatically increases thermal bearing strength and also has excellent creep and radiation resistance.
The addition of glass fibre filler to Virgin VICTREX PEEK dramatically increases its strength at higher temperatures, making it ideal for structural applications that require superior strength or stability at temperatures of about 300°F. This filler also significantly lowers the material's expansion rate.
Here at Fluorotec, we have extensive experience in producing parts using Glass Fibre Filled VICTREX PEEK across a range of industries, including the electronics industry, automotive and aerospace, the oil and gas industry as well as components used in mechanical and chemical engineering.
Due to our continued investment in our CNC machining facilities, we are able to produce PEEK parts with incredibly quick turnaround times whilst still achieving exact tolerances.
AF802 is a glass fibre reinforced semi-crystalline very high-performance engineering thermoplastic for extremely demanding applications.

Critically, VICTREX PEEK can not only withstand high temperatures but does so in harsh chemical environments which have made it the material of choice for some applications in the oil and gas sector. It can be used for a range of parts, such as aircraft components, wire & cable coatings, engine parts, pump & valve parts, electrical components, industrial applications, fuel cells, ducting and manifolds to name just a few. However, at Fluorotec we have developed a specialist reputation for certain Glass Fibre Filled VICTREX PEEK parts.
Valve SeatsOur glass-filled VICTREX PEEK Valve Seats can withstand excessive wear and tear under high heat and load.
Wear RingsAll of our glass-filled VICTREX PEEK Wear Rings are manufactured within our UK base which gives complete control and flexibility to support almost any demand.
Component Design & ManufacturingWe can design and manufacture your product, part or component in Glass Fibre Filled VICTREX PEEK. Whether developing a new part from scratch or innovating to provide a new solution for a failing component, our engineers can design and manufacture products in Glass Fibre Filled VICTREX PEEK that will meet and exceed performance requirements.
