PEEK or polyetheretherketone offers engineers a high-performance, extremely durable thermoplastic that suits challenging applications in multiple industries. As a semicrystalline engineering thermoplastic of the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, it maintains high-temperature tolerances, strength, and stability across harsh environments operating continuously at temperatures of 480°F (250°C) without permanent loss in physical properties. For hostile environments, PEEK is an alternative to fluoropolymers.
PEEK plastic materials maintain their strength and durability against chemicals, fatigue, and creep. Its density and tensile strength are high enough to rival metals like aluminum, and it will not degrade in chemically or physically harsh environments as metals do. PEEK also has distinctive properties that make it ideal in biocompatibility, UV resistance, pure radiolucency, gamma-ray resistance, and low/no toxicity in all forms.
Additionally, PEEK’s low coefficient of friction and ability to withstand high loads make it an excellent choice for applications requiring precise and reliable performance. This includes use in semiconductor manufacturing, where contamination-free environments are critical. Furthermore, the inherent flame retardancy and low smoke emissions of PEEK plastic enhance its suitability for electrical and electronic applications, ensuring safety and reliability.
