We offer a range of services to complement our wide range of PEEK products. Oil and gas industry: drill heads, sealings and sensors.Food industry: valves, blenders, strippers, dosing systems and kneaders.Medical industry: parts for surgical instruments and short term implants.Conveyor technics: guidances, strokes, rollers, grippers, and valves.Automotive industry: clutch and gearbox components and turbocharger impeller.Mechanical engineering: gear wheels, sliding elements, compressor and pump components, drives, bushings, valves and rollers.Electronic industry: insulators, connectors and wafer-carrier.Typical applications that are machined from PEEK plastics include: It is highly resistant to thermal degradation, as well as to attack by both organic and aqueous environments. It has proven to be a polymer that is difficult to discolour, expand or break. PEEK exhibits excellent resistance to various organic solvents, oils, weak acids and alkalis, and can maintain strength over a wide temperature range and concentration. For products with even greater mechanical strength and stiffness or for specialist grades, we also offer high-performance engineering plastic products which are modified PEEK polymers offering increased fatigue resistance, improved wear resistance or metal detectable polymers. Contact us about your specific application and we will be happy to recommend the best and most suitable materials.Īvailable to purchase from stock as a semi-finished sheet, rod or tube product, this versatile material can be processed into machined components which are dimensionally stable even in harsh environments. PEEK is also self-extinguishing according to UL 94 VO and is food compliant. PEEK offers a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance (-50☌ to +250°c) and excellent chemical resistance, making it one of the most popular advanced plastics materials. Unaffected by continuous exposure to hot water or steam.Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays).Flame retardant (V-O flammability rating).Few plastics in our range offer the benefits offered by PEEK rod, sheet and tube. PEEK polymers offer excellent thermal and mechanical properties, making them high-performance engineering materials perfect for demanding applications. It is also one of the best choices when looking for good chemical resistance (commonly used in chemical industries) as well as radiation resistance. With an excellent balance of physical properties, it has one of the highest levels of heat resistance and mechanical strength available of all the engineering plastics. In fact PEEK is so tough that it can even be used in place of metal. It is also incredibly durable, making it the perfect material for use in applications where reliability, wear-resistance and longevity are key. Continuous Service Temp / Fair Bearing and Wear Properties.Polyetheretherketone (also Polyether Ether Ketone) or PEEK for short, is a high-performance plastic that offers excellent resistance to heat and chemicals.

A new bearing grade PEEK PVX offers superior bearing and wear performance at elevated pressure and velocity (PV) levels. Carbon fiber, Graphite and PTFE reinforced grades provide excellent dimensional stability and increased bearing and wear properties at higher loads. PEEK offers steam and wear resistance and is now available black making ideal for instrument components where aesthetics are important. in hot water and/or steam without permanent loss of physical properties. With a V-O flammability rating PEEK can be used continuously to 480 degrees F. All grades of PEEK offer excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance similar to PPS (polyphenylene Sulfide), but can operate at higher temperatures. Unreinforced grades of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) offer high elongation and toughness. PEEK is a high performance thermoplastic used in many medical and pharmaceutical applications.
