PEEK is semi-crystalline thermoplastic. It has exceptional mechanical and chemical resistance qualities that hold up well to high temperatures. PEEK’s crystallinity and, thus, its mechanical qualities might vary depending on how it is processed during molding.

PEEK can tolerate high temperatures since it has a melting point of 343°C. It can be constantly utilized in hot water or steam up to 250°C without permanently losing its physical qualities.

Its capacity to retain dimensional stability under challenging thermal and chemical conditions is improved by the incorporation of glass fibers. The following sectors frequently employ this material: aerospace, automotive, medical, chemical, semiconductor, and microwave.

PEEK components are opaque by nature. PEEK’s polymeric nature makes it challenging for paints and coatings to adhere to its surface. However, because of its natural resilience to chemicals, it is frequently permissible to leave components in their machined state.

As Machined: The flawless surface finishes that PEEK can attain when machined is similar to a 125 uin Ra finish.

Bead Blast: By mechanically abrading the surface with glass beads, any inappropriate tool marks can be eliminated.

PEEK offers several benefits, which fall into two categories: the benefits of the material itself and the particular benefits of utilizing a CNC machine to process PEEK components.

• Very good chemical resistance
• Exceptional mechanical characteristics
• Very little moisture is absorbed.
• Abrasion resistance
• Contact with hot water or steam repeatedly has little effect
• Invulnerable to biodegradation
• Holds a high temperature
• Stability in dimensions
• Non-flammable
• Superior impact resistance

• Excellent accuracy
• High repeatability
• Tight tolerances
• Increased feed and speed are possible due to a high relative melting point.

PEEK is employed in many crucial sectors across the whole industry because of its outstanding property profile. PEEK materials are widely used in a variety of industries, including those related to the automotive, energy and power, electronics, maritime, nuclear, construction, transportation, sign and lighting, mining, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, earth moving equipment, and aerospace.

Due to their shown resilience to wear, heat, and radiation, as well as their low levels of flammability, low levels of smoke, and low emissions of poisonous gases, PEEK materials have established themselves as a very popular type of plastic in the industrial sector.

Parts examples are:

• Bearings
• Thrust washers and seals
• Piston parts
• Manufacturing of semiconductors
• Pumps
• Plate valves for compressors
• applications using very high vacuum

The part cost = material cost  + machining cost + surface treatment. The PEEK material is USD140/kg, and the machining cost is about USD12/hour. Please feel free to contact us for the accurate price.
