PEEK – Polyetheretherketone
PEEK is a rigid opaque (grey) material with a unique combination of properties, which include exceptional chemical, wear, electrical and temperature resistance, as well as dimensional stability and numerous processing capabilities.
PEEK can be processed by injection moulding. PEEK™ polymer is used typically as a replacement for machined metals in a wide variety of high performance end-use applications. These range in diversity from components for cars, aircraft, industrial pumps, valves and seals, to silicon wafer carriers, connectors and sterilisable surgical instruments and in the medical implants market. Invariably the parts being formed by injection moulding.
PEEK is easily processed by Injection Moulding, and ProPlastix can advise on all your specific applications.
