PEEK

PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high performance engineering thermoplastic from the semi-crystalline polymer family, developed for applications that demand high mechanical, thermal and chemical performance. It is widely used as a metal replacement in severe industrial environments.
It offers excellent dimensional stability, even under high temperatures and continuous loads, as well as a low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance. Its molecular structure ensures consistent performance in critical applications, including contact with aggressive chemical agents, radiation and sterilisation processes.
PEEK is compatible with high precision machining processes, allowing the manufacture of complex technical parts with tight tolerances and a high level of reliability.

• Store the material in a dry, covered place, protected from direct sunlight.
• Avoid prolonged contact with abrasive surfaces during transport.
• Use tools suitable for machining high performance plastics.
• Respect the thermal and mechanical limits specified for each application.
• For critical applications, consult the technical team to define the most suitable type of PEEK.
