Why PEEK Plastic?

PEEK plastic provides exceptional performance over a wide range of temperatures and extreme conditions. It is a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline polymer widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics in the world. It provides a unique combination and range of high performance properties.  

1. High Temperature Performance

Excellent high temperature performance, with glass transition temperatures ranging between 289ºF - 324ºF and melting temperatures between 649ºF - 729ºF.

2. Mechanical Strength & Dimensional Stability

Excellent strength, stiffness, long-term creep and fatigue properties.

3. Wear Resistance

High abrasion and cut through resistance combined with a low coefficient of friction.

4. Chemical Resistance

Withstands a wide range of acids, bases, hydrocarbons and organic solvents.

5. Hydrolysis Resistance

Low moisture absorption, resistant to steam, water and sea water, with low permeability.

6. Electrical Performance

Electrical properties which are maintained over a wide frequency and temperature range.

7. Low Smoke and Toxic Gas Emission Inherently flame retardant without the use of additives. Low toxicity of combustion gases. 

8. Purity

Exceptionally low outgassing and extractables.

9. Environmentally Friendly

Lightweight, fully recyclable, halogen free, and RoHS compliant.

10. Ease of Processing

One of the highest performing melt processable materials available today using conventional thermoplastic processing equipment.
