polymer and oxidative environment (vaporized hydrogen peroxide)
(OP)
do you have a any table of polymers compatibility with the vaporized hydrogen peroxide (concentration near 30% or more) ?
or any case of application of a polymer who will be resist.

RE: polymer and oxidative environment (vaporized hydrogen peroxide)
I would start with polyethylene and make sure you work with the supplier to get a grade with a good antioxidant stabilizer package. Specifically, you need antioxidants that won't leach out and leave the polymer unprotected. That means not using hydrolyzable, polar antioxidants like Iraganox 1010 but using non polar, stable kinds like Irganox 1330 instead. A World expert you could contact is Svein Jamtvedt, you can contact him through www.norner.no
If the stabilized polyolefins are not good enough then you will have to try much more expensive polymers like PTFE.

Suppliers do publish extensive lists, but like Chris says, they will not be specific enough to answer your exact question.
You will most likely get data for strong hydrogen peroxide solutions and also for chlorine gas. If it is OK to both of those it would be avery good basis from which to start testing for yourself.

RE: polymer and oxidative environment (vaporized hydrogen peroxide)
I read more these ... I post on this forum because, I don't have enough informations by suppliers (because all the tests are made with liquid peroxide hydrogen).
I know that it's a particular case, I want to progress and increase the lifetime of my actual piece in PEEK.
I have think at PTFE, but this material don't have a big hardness.
PET can resit at the high temperature, vapor is at 130°C ?

Are these injection moulded PEEK or parts machined from stock?

what is the difference on the chemical resistance ?
