Material PEEK – Polyetheretherketone

Partly crystalline thermoplastic that withstands high temperatures. Due to its unique properties, PEEK is mainly used for high-value and highly stressable components. The high upper working temperature (+250 °C), the good chemical stability and resistance to hydrolysis as well as the high mechanical values of this material will allow PEEK to become the material of the future. PEEK components are commonly used as HPLC fittings, screw joints or as tubing. Its natural colour is brown, its price is considerably higher than that of PTFE or PFA.
