Carbon PEEK piping fittings "Antlock"

A special edition of the seminar "Selection of Piping Components: The Basics ▶ Matching Tubes and Fittings," which was held in January to February 2022 and received positive feedback. This time, we will invite Hakkou Co., Ltd. as a guest to discuss the matching of tubes and fittings from the unique perspective of a tube manufacturer. We will share insights from different angles compared to the last session, including the results of burst test data, considerations for fitting selection based on tube structure, and the advantages of laminated tubes, which Hakkou specializes in. In conjunction with this, we will announce new products from Sanwa Enterprise: → "A completely new piping fitting made from carbon fiber reinforced PEEK" "Three types of plastic hose clamps that vary by application" (Limited to the venue) In the latter half, we will conduct a workshop where participants can actually experience connecting fittings and tubes. After the seminar, we will also offer individual consultations and showroom tours. If you are struggling with the selection of piping components or wish to reference this for future designs, please join us.

Sanwa Enterprise Co., Ltd., which handles fluid piping fittings, has developed a tube fitting called "Antlock" that balances heat resistance, chemical resistance, lightweight, durability, and low cost. Sales will begin on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. Antlock is the industry's first tube fitting made from carbon PEEK resin. By utilizing the inherent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and lightweight properties of PEEK, and incorporating carbon, it achieves enhanced strength and significant cost reduction suitable for mass production. It can be used not only for coolant piping that requires heat resistance and durability but also for liquid transport lines handling corrosive fluids such as sodium hypochlorite. It is ideal for applications that previously used metal fittings like stainless steel, providing weight reduction and rust prevention, as well as cost reduction in areas that used fluoropolymer fittings. The compatible tube sizes are 8×6mm, 6×4mm, and 4×2mm, with a planned sales price of 650 yen for all three types. A sample set containing all types will be distributed to interested users.

The carbon PEEK joint "Antlock" has been featured in the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (January 8, 2021 issue), which has a circulation of 420,000 copies. Antlock is a tube joint that uses carbon PEEK resin, the first of its kind in the industry. By incorporating carbon while leveraging the inherent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and lightweight properties of PEEK, it achieves both significant strength enhancement and substantial cost reduction suitable for mass production. It is ideal for applications that previously used metal joints like stainless steel, providing weight reduction and rust prevention, as well as cost savings in areas that used fluororesin joints. Sales will begin on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. The compatible tube sizes are 8×6mm, 6×4mm, and 4×2mm, with a planned selling price of 650 yen for all three types. A sample set containing all types will be distributed to interested users.
