Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is the only thermoplastic that can achieve mechanical properties at above 300 C. This semi-crystalline aromatic polymer is considered to be the exclusive thermoplastic available on the market today.

PEEK Properties

  • Semi-crystalline structure with glass transition temperature of 143 C and a melting temperature of 343 C
  • Resistant to high and low temperatures
  • Chemical resistant to most chemicals, even at high temperatures
  • Flame retardant without any additives
  • Unmatched hydrolysis resistance
  • Low smoke development during combustion
  • Good abrasion resistance and low friction
  • Excellent mechanical properties
