PEEK Plastic
PEEK is an exceptional high-performance engineering plastic known for its remarkable combination of mechanical strength, dimensional stability, sliding properties, and wear resistance. These qualities make it an excellent choice for parts that require tight tolerances.
One of the critical characteristics of PEEK is its impressive high-temperature resistance. It can withstand temperatures of up to 250 degrees Celsius continuously and even reach 310 degrees Celsius for short periods. Unlike other engineering plastics, PEEK retains its mechanical properties as temperatures rise over extended periods.
Furthermore, PEEK exhibits exceptional chemical resistance, surpassing most other available plastics
