ZEDEX® 324 family

As PEEK, only better – up to 250°C

The family ZX-324® is 100% virgin PEEK. Unlike to commonly used PEEK, it has a higher glass transition temperature – and better ductility, consenting to reduce the machining times dramatically. Approx. 55% time saving has been already archieved on a real finished parts.

The other properties are similar to the common ones, but thanks to our wide range of hollow rods you can save up to 70% in weight in comparison to bars, hence money. Have a look to our delivery programme.

When to use the family ZX-324® ?

  • For temperatures up to 250°C
  • When in contact with chemicals
  • If FDA conformity or EU 10/2011 approval is required
    (basic type ZX-324)

When is the ZX-324® family not suitable?

  • If an price-effective solution is required (e.g. ZX-324V1T® as alternative)
  • When low wear and friction are required (e.g.  ZX-324V2T® as alternative)
