PEEK Rod

PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), a high performance engineering thermoplastic, offers chemical and water resistance similar to PPS (PolyPhenylene Sulfide), but can operate at higher temperatures.

The general purpose grade is unreinforced and offers the highest elongation and toughness of all PEEK grades. Unfilled PEEK is available in sheet and rod forms in natural (a very light brown or tan) and black colors. Black PEEK is ideal for instrument components where aesthetics are important, as well as for seal components where ductility and inertness are important. All unfilled PEEK grades comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.2415 for repeated food contact.The addition of glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforcements enhances the mechanical and thermal properties of the basic PEEK material.

PEEK Rod with characteristics such as exceptional strength, wear resistance and high temperature operation, it is no wonder how PEEK (PolyEtherEther-Ketone) has earned its use in high performance applications. PEEK can be found in car manufacturing processes, aerospace components and even medical implants due to its unique properties.

PEEK ROD - NATURAL

PEEK is high temperature-resistant engineered thermoplastic with excellent chemical and fatigue resistance and thermal stability. PEEK exhibits superior mechanical and electrical properties with a maximum continuous working temperature of 480°F and excellent retention of mechanical properties up to 570°F in a steam or high-pressure water environment. Superior chemical resistance has allowed PEEK to work effectively as a metal/stainless steel replacement in harsh environments, and has proven to be a reliable replacement for other materials that cost up to 10 times more.
