PEEK for Low Out-Gassing Aerospace Application

Q: We require materials with low outgassing (conforming to ASTM-E595) for use in a satellite and I have yet to find a polymer screw that could meet these requirements. Any ideas?

A: I checked PEEK in NASA’s material out-gassing database. It looks like it will most likely meet the 1% total mass loss and 0.1% collectible volatile condensable material we need. PEEK is known for its low out-gassing and is used in many electronic and medical applications because of that property. You can also download our PEEK datasheet on our PEEK webpage.
