Virgin PTFE possesses outstanding electrical properties, high dielectric strength, low dielectric constant and very high electrical resistance. The addition of fillers can extensively change these properties. However, fillers generally are only used where the mechanical properties of Virgin PTFE are inadequate as the addition of a filler will generally enhance certain properties of PTFE but reduce others.
Victrex PEEK possesses excellent insulating properties which are retained at over 200 degrees C. Good electrical properties and good thermal stability make PEEK an excellent choice for electrical components operating in aggressive environments.
