PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
PEEK is considered one of the world’s highest-performing functional materials. It has excellent biocompatibility, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and thermal properties. PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic with excellent
PEEK (PolyEtherEther-Ketone) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic offering the same chemical and water resistance as PPS (PolyPhenylene Sulfide), but can withstand greater temperatures. PEEK is a strong and stiff thermoplastic material that is often used in applications where performance at elevated temperatures is required. PEEK has outstanding chemical resistance as well as resistance to steam and hot water. PEEK can be used continuously to 480°F (250°C) and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. For hostile environments, PEEK is a high-strength alternative to fluoropolymers. PEEK carries a V-0 flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame.
