Advantages and Disadvantages of PEEK Capillary Tubing

High Temperature Resistance

PEEK capillary tubing can be used continuously at around 260°C, and withstands short-term exposure to temperatures as high as 300°C.
Ideal for high-temperature analysis or equipment environments.

Chemical Inertness

PEEK has excellent corrosion resistance against strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents, and oxidizing agents.
It remains stable in chromatographic analysis and chemical transport, and is not easily dissolved or damaged by solvents.

Stable Mechanical Properties

High strength and toughness, with good pressure resistance, even in small-diameter capillary tubes.
It also maintains good dimensional stability, with high length and inner diameter accuracy.

High Precision Manufacturing

Can be produced with very small inner diameters (micron-level), and uniform wall thickness.
The smooth inner surface minimizes fluid resistance.

High Processing and Welding Requirements

The precision capillary tube end-port handling and connections require specialized equipment, otherwise, leaks or damage may occur.

Limited Resistance to Strong Oxidizing Agents

While PEEK is resistant to most chemicals, it may be damaged by strong oxidizing agents like concentrated nitric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid.

High Price

PEEK material is more expensive than PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or nylon tubing.

Limited Flexibility

Compared to silicone or PTFE tubing, PEEK tubing is more likely to crack under excessive bending or very small diameters.

Excellent Electrical Insulation

Ideal for applications requiring electrical insulation, such as electronics and sensors.

Low Adsorption

Smooth inner walls reduce the risk of sample or solution adsorption, ensuring accurate analysis results.
