Peek (Polyetheretherketone)

PEEK is a high-performance polymer known for its excellent thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance.

Chemical composition

Polyetheretherketone

It is a thermoplastic material that offers exceptional stability at high temperatures and extreme environmental conditions.

It is used in high-precision applications and where resistance to heavy loads and harsh conditions is crucial.

The PEEK is the ideal choice for those who need a material that combines superior performance, mechanical resistance, thermal and chemical. It is perfect for advanced applications in areas such as aerospace, automotive, physician and electronicwhere durability and reliability are paramount.

Why use PEEK?

1
Superior thermal resistance
- It can operate in environments with temperatures up to 250°C, with peaks up to 300°C.
- Perfect for applications requiring thermal stability and resistance to high temperatures.
2
Outstanding chemical resistance
- Withstands a wide range of chemicals e solventsincluding strong acids and bases.
- Ideal for industrial, pharmaceutical and chemical environments.
3
High mechanical strength
- It has a great hardness and one remarkable wear resistancemaking it perfect for components operating under mechanical stress and heavy loads.
- It is used in applications such as bearings, gears and other mechanical components high-strength.
4
Low wear and friction
- Excellent tribological behaviour, which means that it reduces wear on moving components and friction.
- Used in applications where maintaining efficiency and durability is essential.
5
UV-resistant
- It does not easily degrade when exposed to sunlight or UV light, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
6
Radiation resistance
- It is resistant to ionising radiation, which makes it useful in environments such as hospitals and nuclear facilities.

When to avoid PEEK

If it is not necessary a material with extremely high performance in terms of chemical or thermal resistance.

In applications comfortable where the less expensive plastics may be sufficient, such as PVC or PTFE.

When it is necessary to reduce costs, as PEEK is generally rather expensive compared to other plastics.
