PEEK
(Polyetheretherketone)
- High strength and stiffness
- Operating temperature up to 300°C
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Good thermal stability
- Easy to machine
The material PEEK is a unique, versatile, semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with excellent chemical resistance. Due to its high heat distortion and temperature resistance, PEEK components can be used at temperatures up to 250 – 260 °C. The melting point of the high-temperature plastic is approx. 341 °C.
PEEK materials are often used in hot water or steam environments and are still able to maintain their physical properties such as flexural strength and tensile strength at a high level.
Polyetheretherketone is often mistaken as just a high-priced engineering thermoplastic. However, experienced users appreciate the added value that PEEK plastics offer due to their desirable material properties; that is, the ability to produce components that are lighter, more resilient and can withstand demanding operating conditions over a longer period of time.
A major advantage of PEEK plastic is that the PEEK material properties can be adjusted to suit the application. Various PEEK modifications are available, such as fiber-reinforced PEEK, PEEK with PTFE, conductive PEEK, and others. You can choose the most suitable material depending on the environment and area of use. We also offer special PEEK material types for medical, oil and gas, semiconductor, agricultural, food and aerospace applications.
