PEEK Polymer

 

Polyetheretherketone, or PEEK in short, is a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline polymer widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics in the world. It provides a unique combination and range of high performance properties:

 

  • very high heat resistance

  • high rigidity 

  • low water absorption and therefore high dimensional stability  

  • high hardness  

  • good strength

  • excellent sliding friction behaviour

  • minimal abrasion

  • good electrical characteristics 

  • excellent chemical resistance

  • excellent hydrolytic stability

  • good processability

  • low tendency to form stress cracks
