General Info
Ketron® TX PEEK was developed for the food industry and other applications that require an FDA compliant and European Union compliance material. Ketron® TX is an internally lubricated PEEK that offers improved wear and frictional performance over virgin PEEK. Ketron® TX is ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and beverage processing applications where the application requires extreme performance via either temperature, critical tolerance, or even frictional heat; all while improving wear performance and part life by lowering the coefficient of friction over standard PEEK.

Resin Trade Names
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.
