What is PEEK plastic?

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties that are retained in high temperature applications. Due to PEEK's properties, it is widely used in aerospace, automotive, ultra-high vacuum, chemical processing and biomedical applications.

What is PEEK plastic used for?

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high performance, engineering plastic that retains its properties under high temperature use. PEEK's properties include low friction, dimensional stability, excellent insulation properties, outstanding and inherent purity. Some uses of PEEK are automotive washers & bearings, aerospace interior & exterior parts, medical autoclave components, electrical components & connectors and biomedical implants.

What are the types of PEEK?

There are 3 types of PEEK plastics commonly available. PEEK Natural is the toughest grade of PEEK plastic with the highest level of elongation. PEEK Glass Filled adds glass fiber reinforcements to reduce the expansion rate and increase the bending modulus. PEEK Carbon Filled adds carbon fiber reinforcements to increase the level of rigidity and creep strength.
