Dursan is Excellent for any Compound that will Interact with Stainless Steel
PEEK is a highly inert material which has been used in HPLC applications for years. However PEEK has some limitations:
-
- Mechanical strength: PEEK begins to flex at 3000 to 5000 PSI, making it unsuitable for UHPLC and other applications where high pressure is required.
- Work-ability: Machining of PEEK doesn’t produce consistent IDs, which disrupts flows and can shift retention times.
- Environmental: PEEK has temperature limitations and solvent related swelling issues which limit solvent and temperature options for the user.
Dursan coated stainless steel offers a robust and inert alternative to PEEK. Click HERE for more information on Dursan Surfaces.
