Elder Engineering (Herts) Ltd for high performance tube

For 40 years, Zeus has been the supplier of choice for precision polymer extrusions. Zeus manufactures custom and stock extruded tubing, heat shrinkable tubing, and other polymer products in a wide variety of sizes and types. Elder Engineering (Herts) Ltd are pleased to act as distributors for Zeus in the UK.

Below are just some of the products available.

PTFE Tubing

Elder Engineering (Herts) Ltd offers a wide range of Zeus standard size products and precision custom PTFE Tubing. Often referred to as Teflon Tubing, PTFE Tubing has become the gold standard in industries requiring the ultimate in lubricant properties, high temperature use, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and precision extruded tolerances.

PEEK Tubing

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high performance engineered polymer with amazing strength and heat resistant properties. PEEK polymer is a very rigid plastic with excellent lubricant properties. PEEK is naturally tan in colour, however it can be pigmented with a wide range of colours for part identification. Thin wall PEEK is more flexible and can be cut to length with a razor blade.

PEEKshrink™ — PEEK heat-shrinkable tubing.

PEEK, a linear, semi-crystalline aromatic polymer, is considered the highest performing thermoplastic material due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressure and caustic fluids. Now Zeus has taken PEEK to an entirely new level of performance with the introduction of PEEKshrink™ — PEEK heat-shrinkable tubing.

PEEKshrink™ provides a “shrink to fit” layer of protection for sensitive or critical components used in a variety of applications such as medical devices, fluid handling systems, electronics, telecom hardware and oil exploration equipment. The polymer’s inherent purity and lubricant make it an ideal choice for analytical and life sciences applications.

An alternative to traditional protective coatings like Teflon, PEEKshrink™ PEEK tube is ideally suited for challenging environments where extreme heat or cold, intense pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to wires and electrical components.

When shrunk onto components, PEEKshrink™ tube forms an impenetrable “second skin” that is impervious to contaminants, preserving the integrity and performance of whatever is inside.

Zeus’ experience with PEEK in terms of material modification and extrusion has enabled us to elevate several key performance attributes of PEEKshrink™, giving design engineers more options of standard as well as customized sizes, tolerances and shrink ratios for a range of projects. Let us show you what Zeus can make PEEKshrink™ do for you.
