Peek Rod

PEEK is a high performance engineering thermoplastic that offers high chemical and water resistance , can operate at higher temperatures. PEEK can be used continuously to 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.

Material description:

• Semi-crystalline thermoplastic
• DIN EN ISO 1043-1: PEEK | polyetheretherketone
• High-performance plastics

 

Material properties:

• Excellent dimensional stability
• Extremely high flame resistance
• Self-extinguishing
• Very low smoke emission in a case of a fire
• Minimal absorption of moisture
• High purity
• Very good resistance to gamma- and x-ray-radiation
• Good sliding properties
• High wear resistance
• Can be easily deep drawn
• Low distortion when under mechanical loads
• Is resistant to very high impact loading
• Outstanding high mechanical strength and hardness over a broad temperature range
• Despite high temperatures and mechanical load, the material is only modestly distorted
