PEEK plastic, also called polyether ether ketone, has grown enormously in popularity in recent years due to its versatility in applications. PEEK plastics meet higher requirements than standard or technical plastics and can therefore be considered high performance plastics.<\/p>\n

This compact, sturdy type of plastic can be machined with high accuracy, resulting in beautiful, smooth surfaces. PEEK is ideally suited as a material for various applications with high quality requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PEEK: a short description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polyether ether ketone, also called PEEK, has a very high, long-term use temperature (approx. 280 \u00b0 C). The plastic is stiff, strong and has an extremely good tensile and bending strength under varying loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, PEEK has very good dimensional stability at high temperatures and the material is resistant to chemicals. PEEK is also resistant to high-energy radiation and is self-extinguishing according to UL94. The application of PEEK is very diverse. Think of semiconductor, medical, aerospace, research, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the unique properties of PEEK, these high performance plastics often serve as a replacement for metal components, partly because it is lighter and no corrosion occurs.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEEK plastic properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Characteristic of PEEK is that this type of high performance plastic can deliver excellent performance under extreme conditions. Due to the unique properties of PEEK, these high performance plastics often serve as substitutes for metal components. This is because they are lighter in weight and non-corrosive, among other things. The plastic type PEEK (polyether ether ketone) has the following technical properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
