PEEK

Polyether ether ketone

PEEK sits at the top of injection-mouldable thermoplastics: continuous use up to 250 °C, excellent wear and fatigue resistance and resistance to almost all chemicals. Its high price pays off where it replaces metal or ceramic. Glass- and carbon-fibre grades are used in structural parts.

Overview

PEEK is the standard grade of the PEEK family in the high-performance plastics group. It is used in applications such as semiconductor and vacuum-equipment parts, compressor and pump wear parts, aerospace fasteners. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

  • Aerospace fasteners
  • Oil and gas sealing elements

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PEEK are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
