PEEK (Polyether ether ketone)
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), a shatter resistant semi-crystalline plastic, has emerged as one of the most sought-after thermoplastics in polymer parts manufacturing due to its combination of exceptional fatigue and impact resistance, mechanical strength and chemical and corrosion resistance. Couple these attributes with PEEK's outstanding insulating properties and flame resistance, and it becomes an indispensable part material across a range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics where high performance, durability and mechanical strength are essential.
Temperature-resistant, low-friction and stable polymer
Advantages of PEEK for Plastic Parts:
PEEK is a highly-machinable thermoplastic with excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength and chemical resistance properties. It delivers unique attributes that make it suitability for some specific applications:
Durability and wear-resistance - exhibits an impressively-long lifetime in hostile, extenuated wear applications
Temperature resistance - can withstand prolonged exposure to temperatures of 500°F, melting point of 650°F.
Corrosive-resistant - stands up to seawater, solvents, chemicals and hydrolysis even in extended submerged environments.
Applications Best Suited for this Material:
The variety of types and grades available combined with the physical properties of PEEK allow it to be used across a wide variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, medical and electronics. It is found in bearings, bushings, insulators and gears, often in harsh environments requiring a robust polymer resistant to demanding environmental factors.
