General Info

EPM-2204U-W is a proprietary grade of VICTREX® PEEK™ that has been blended with ceramic fillers to significantly improve its mechanical properties. This product has excellent dimensional stability and tolerance control across a broad range of temperature and humidity conditions. The EPM-2204U-W grade maintains impact strength, stiffness and minimum levels of creep.

Key Properties

When compared to some traditional materials such as polyamideimide (PAI) and other imidized polymers, this grade based on VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer has greater hydrolytic stability.
And, when compared with ceramics, it is half the weight and offers greater impact resistance and toughness.
It also has excellent processability and wear performance. Additional benefits include good dielectric properties for insulative applications.
The EPM-2204U-W grade offers excellent machinability for tighter pitch and fine diameter holes as required to produce integrated circuit test sockets.

Manufacturer Trade Names

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
