Overview

PEEK (Poly Ether Ether Ketone) polymer is the brand name of a high performance thermoplastic made by Victrex. The unique combination of properties, including ease of processing, means PEEK polymer is used in a wide range of applications including aerospace, automotive, electronics, industrial, food and medical.

Thanks to its proven ability to withstand hostile environments, PEEK polymer is becoming the material of choice for responding to greater product performance demands.

Grade and Application
Grade
Application
Automotive Piston units, seals, washers, bearings and various active components used in automotive applications such as transmission, braking and air-conditioning systems
Industrial Custom designed components able to withstand the harshest environments that require high strength and wear resistance over a wide range of temperatures. Replacing stainless steel in impeller wheels for regenerative pumps, it provides a significant reduction in wear, reduced noise levels and more consistent running properties
Electronics Excellent electrical properties make it an ideal electrical insulator, providing parts with long-term operating reliability over widely fluctuating ranges of temperature, pressure and frequency. Its inherent purity, combined with excellent mechanical and chemical stability, minimise contamination and maximise safety during the handling of silicon wafers
aerospace High performance that is tailored to the application. In critical in-engine parts, the polymer withstands high temperatures and the tribological interaction of dry and lubricated material contacts. In aircraft exterior parts, the polymer provides excellent resistance to rain erosion, while for aircraft interior components, its inherent flame retardancy and low smoke and toxic gas emission reduce the hazard to passengers and crew in the event of a fire
Medical This semi-crystalline material maintains high mechanical strength, excellent stress cracking resistance and hydrolytic stability in the presence of hot water, steam, solvents and chemicals
