Description
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance, high-temperature, semi-crystalline thermoplastic. This advanced material combines excellent wear resistance and very good mechanical properties, even under thermal load. It also boasts outstanding chemical resistance and a high maximum operating temperature of 260°C.
- Good heat deflection temperature
- Good machinability
- Inherently flame-retardant
- Resistance against high-energy radiation
- Good slide and wear properties
- Very good chemical resistance
- High creep resistance
- Hydrolysis and superheated steam resistant
- Medical grades available on request
- Available in rods and sheets
Applications: Aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, oil and gas, food processing, and spacecraft. PEEK is at the apex of the pyramid of engineering plastics in the Advanced Engineering Plastics grouping.
PEEK Black
This black pigmented version of PEEK plastic demonstrates improved UV resistance in addition to the other typical PEEK properties, which make this product an ideal material of choice for outdoor use. This is available in rod, plate, and tube in a variety of dimensions, as well as in a host of modified grades with various fillers to enhance its performance even further. A few examples, such as Carbon fibre, Glass, and Ceramic, are available.
- Good heat deflection temperature
