PEEK - Polyetheretherketone

PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic with a continuous operating temperature of up to 250°C. It delivers exceptional mechanical strength, chemical and hydrolysis resistance, radiation resistance and steam resistance — with physical properties that remain stable regardless of the external environment. The material of choice when standard engineering plastics reach their limits.

PEEK - Polyetheretherketone

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic that operates reliably at continuous temperatures up to 250°C, a range where most standard engineering plastics deform or lose mechanical integrity. It combines this thermal stability with excellent mechanical strength, outstanding creep resistance and resistance to a broad spectrum of chemicals including acids, bases, hydrolysis and steam.

What separates PEEK from other high-performance plastics is its combination of properties in a single material, it is simultaneously strong, wear-resistant, chemically resistant, radiation-resistant and non-flammable.

PEEK is used in semiconductor systems, LCD and TFT manufacturing plants, fine machining and precision engineering, chemical processing plants, electroplating installations and as electrical insulating material.

Note: When the glass transition temperature of approximately 150°C is reached, changes in the physical properties of PEEK may occur. This should be considered during component design.

Continuous Operating Temperature

Reliable performance in high-temperature environments where standard plastics fail.

Excellent Mechanical Strength

High tensile strength and stiffness maintained across a wide temperature range.

Excellent Wear Resistance

Suitable for sliding, friction and contact parts under demanding load conditions.

Excellent Creep Resistance

Maintains dimensional stability under sustained mechanical load at elevated temperatures.

Available Product Forms

PEEK is available in all standard semi-finished forms across multiple sheet formats and a full round bar range.

Sheets

Available in four standard formats: 1000×610 mm, 1250×1000 mm, 2000×1000 mm and 3000×1250 mm. Thicknesses from 5–60 mm in standard stock, up to 50 mm in larger formats.

Round Bars

Solid bars Ø 8–300 mm in 1000 mm and 3000 mm lengths. Full standard stock range available across natural and black grades.

Tubes & Rings

Extensive range of OD/ID combinations available as made-to-order. Contact Plastix Factory for specific tube dimensions and wall thicknesses.

Cut-to-Size

Custom cut to your exact dimensions from standard sheet or bar stock.

Finished Parts

CNC-machined parts to your technical drawings and tolerance requirements, in standard and reinforced grades.

Typical Applications

PEEK is used in the most demanding industrial environments, wherever high temperature, aggressive chemicals, radiation or sustained mechanical load would cause engineering plastics to fail.

Semiconductor & Electronics Manufacturing

Components in semiconductor systems, LCD and TFT manufacturing equipment and wafer handling applications where chemical resistance, dimensional stability and purity are critical.

Chemical & Electroplating Plants

Structural and functional components in chemical processing and electroplating installations. PEEK's broad chemical resistance covers acids, bases, solvents and aggressive process media.

Fine Machining & Precision Engineering

Used for precision machined components, fixtures and inserts where tight tolerances must be maintained at elevated temperatures and under sustained mechanical load.

Bearings, Bushings & Seals

Particularly the HPV grade, engineered for bearings, bushings, thrust washers and seals operating under high pressure, high velocity and demanding contact conditions.

Insulating Components

PEEK's non-flammable classification and excellent dielectric properties make it suitable for electrical insulating components, carrier plates and housings in high-temperature electrical applications.

Aerospace & High-Temperature Structural Parts

Applied in aerospace and high-performance mechanical engineering where lightweight, non-metallic structural parts must perform reliably across a wide temperature range.

Available in 5 Variants

Each variant is engineered to extend or optimise specific performance characteristics of standard PEEK. Select the right grade for your application requirements.

Natural (Beige-Brown) / Black

Maximum chemical purity, excellent electrical insulation and the full baseline mechanical and thermal properties of PEEK.

PEEK-ELS EC / Conductive

Maintains constant conductivity between 10⁴ and 10⁶ ohms with minimal deviation from the physical properties of standard PEEK.

PEEK CF30

30% carbon fibre reinforcement delivering significantly enhanced stiffness and load-bearing capacity.

PEEK GF30

30% glass fibre reinforcement providing enhanced rigidity and dimensional stability.

PEEK HPV

Specially developed for components operating under high pressure, high velocity and extreme friction.
