Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) sheets and rods are high-performance engineering plastics recognized for their exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and ability to maintain properties at elevated temperatures. PEEK is semicrystalline, with a high melting point (around 343°C), and offers outstanding wear, fatigue, and creep resistance, making it suitable for the most demanding industrial, medical, and engineering applications. Its biocompatibility and ability to withstand repeated sterilization cycles also make it a preferred material in healthcare and dental fields. PEEK can be further enhanced with reinforcements like carbon or glass fibers for even greater strength and durability.
Common Uses of PEEK Sheets & Rods:
Bearings, piston parts, compressor plate valves, and pump components in chemical and engineering industries
Seals, washers, and active components in automotive transmissions, braking, and air-conditioning systems
Critical engine and structural parts in aerospace, replacing metals for weight and noise reduction
Dental and orthopedic implants, prosthetic devices, and surgical instruments due to biocompatibility and sterilization resistance
Electrical insulators, connector jacks, and components for electronics requiring high purity and thermal stability
Food processing and pharmaceutical equipment, benefiting from FDA compliance and chemical inertness
High-performance industrial parts such as impeller wheels, pipe couplings, and manifolds exposed to high pressure and temperature
