About PEEK plastic

PEEK Plastic (polyetheretherketone) belongs to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family and is a semicrystalline thermoplastic. It is an almost perfect plastic for parts and components used in environments with high temperatures and high corrosion.

PEEK Plastic’s unique chemical structure makes it incredibly strong and dimensionally stable under load and in the harshest environments. The operating temperature is up to 260°C (480°F), and the melting point is around 341°C (646°F). Therefore, PEEK Plastic is often used in hot water or steam environments.

PEEK plastic is naturally light brown or tan and available in black. It is usually extruded into sheets, films, rods, tubes, and complicated parts by injection molding. Unlike other polymers, PEEK plastic offers machinability similar to that of metal. PEEK Plastic is also available in different grades, such as Unfilled Grade, Glass-Filled, Carbon-Filled, Antistatic PEEK, Etc.

As a popular material, PEEK plastic is used for Semiconductor components, automotive washers/bearings, aerospace parts, oil and gas components, medical devices and implants, and pump/valve components, among other uses.
