PEEK  (Polyetheretherketone)

PEEK is a high temperature wear material with outstanding chemical resistance.  Its inherent wear and abrasion resistance and high strength make it an idea material for corrosive and demanding environments.  PEEK also has great performance in steam and hot water, and can operate in temperatures to 480o F.

PEEK shapes can be produced by utilizing Extrusion, Injection Molding, or Compression Molding methods.  PEEK can also be filled with a variety of materials to enhance its performance.

What are the Benefits of PEEK?
  • High Strength
  • Toughness
  • Excellent Chemical Resistance
  • Good performance in Steam
  • Outsanding Wear Resistance
  • Very good Abrasion Resistance
  • FDA, USDA, 3A Dairy, and USP Class VI Compliant
