PEEK (Polyetheretherketone): The King of High-Performance Plastics

In the hierarchy of engineering plastics, PEEK sits firmly at the apex. It is a premium, semi-crystalline thermoplastic renowned for an extraordinary combination of mechanical strength, extreme temperature resistance, and chemical inertness. When standard plastics fail and metals are too heavy or prone to corrosion, PEEK is the ultimate high-tech alternative.

Why PEEK is the Gold Standard

• Extreme Thermal Stability: PEEK can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) while maintaining its structural integrity.

• Metal-Like Strength: With one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in the polymer world, it is a primary choice for replacing stainless steel and titanium in aerospace and medical applications.

• Superior Chemical Resistance: It remains stable against almost all organic and inorganic chemicals, making it indispensable for oil and gas or semiconductor environments.

• Biocompatibility: PEEK is non-toxic and can withstand repeated sterilization, making it the premier material for permanent medical implants and surgical tools.

High-Precision Applications & Finishes

Core Applications:

• Aerospace: High-temperature electrical connectors, wear rings, and structural brackets.

• Medical: Spinal cages, orthopedic implants, and dental healing caps.

• Oil & Gas: Downhole seals, valve seats, and high-pressure sensor housings.

• Semiconductor: Wafer carriers and CMP rings.

Secondary Processes: Because PEEK is a high-value material, we focus on precision:

1. Multi-Stage Annealing: We perform stress-relieving heat treatments to prevent warping or cracking during and after CNC machining.

2. Specialized Tooling: We use diamond-coated or carbide tools to achieve mirror-like surface finishes on this incredibly tough polymer.

3. Reinforcements: We also process Carbon-Filled and Glass-Filled PEEK for applications requiring even higher stiffness.
