Material Properties

PEEK belongs to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family and is widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics available. It maintains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures and offers excellent resistance to chemicals, wear, and fatigue.

Its unique combination of properties makes it suitable for replacing metals in many applications, offering significant weight savings without compromising on performance.

  • Outstanding thermal stability up to 260°C continuous use
  • Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
  • High mechanical strength and stiffness
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Inherently flame retardant (V-0 rating)
