PEEK is a high-performance polymer that is commonly used as a form of metal replacement, especially in screws and fastenings. Generic metal fastenings can cause issues with high specification assemblies – this may be due to weight implications, high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity or corrosion. PEEK is a highly dynamic thermoplastic polymer which allows it to be injection moulded, machined and extruded – this results in PEEK being available for a wide range of applications from extrusion printing custom parts to injection moulding high specification fasteners. High resistance to gamma and electron beam radiation.Get access to a range of products and find the right shape and size for your business.Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is a high specification polymer that is used in a variety of applications and various industries: Key PEEK properties include: HPV Peek Bearing grade is known for its low levels of friction, durability and high pressure velocity capabilities. Improved strength, stiffness and stability even at temperatures of 300☏ (150☌).The grade is appropriate for structural applications carrying high static loads for long periods of time at elevated temperatures. To find out more, download our data sheet here. This 30% glass fibre reinforced grade (colour: brownish-grey) offers higher stiffness and creep resistance. Download our data sheet to find out more. This results in the improvement of bearing life and pressure velocity capabilities. The carbon fibresin Ketron PEEK reduce thermal expansion and provide thermal conductivity that is 3.5 times greater than regular fibres. The 30% carbon fibre reinforced grade usually comes in black and is known to combine higher stiffness with mechanical strength and creep resistance. Ketron CA30 Peek (30% Carbon Fibre- Reinforced) Ketron 1000 PEEK comes in natural & black (rods, plates and tubes) and are also available as Food and life science grades (LSG). Ketron 1000 PEEK stock shapes are produced from virgin polyetheretherketone resin and offer the highest toughness and impact strength of all Ketron PEEK grades. There are a range of grades that we offer. Thanks to our highly beneficial partnership with our supplier, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials, at Ai Plastics, we stock Ketron PEEK in the form of sheets and bars. It is therefore able to resist combustion levels of up to 600☌. PEEK is known to possess excellent levels of flammability. Inherent low flammability and low levels of smoke evolution during combustion.Hence, it is able to resist gamma and electron beam radiation and is able to maintain transparency in X-rays, thus making it perfect to use during medical applications. PEEK does not absorb moisture and does not change its properties in wet environments. Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays).These include the oil & gas industry, gears in machinery and automotive applications. PEEK is also known to withstand damage inflicted in chemically aggressive operational environments. Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance.It has both creep and fatigue resistance mainly due to its semi- crystalline structure which makes it more durable than many other polymers. PEEK has a high level of mechanical strength and demonstrates excellent stiffness over a wide range of temperatures. PEEK has a continuous use temperature of 260 degrees which makes it suitable to use in a wide range of thermally aggressive environments, such as oil and gas sectors. Continuous High Temperature of up to 250 ☌ up to 310 ☌ for short periods of time.PEEK-based materials are known to be lightweight, easily bent and shaped, resistant to corrosion and with a higher level of specific strength. PEEK can be traced back to the 1960s when its first patent was filed. PEEK (Polyaryletheretherketone) materials are semi-crystalline, high purity polymers and consist of repeating monomers of two ether groups along with a key-tone group. It is used in a variety of applications including automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, and medical equipment. Throughout the plastic industry, PEEK is known as a high-performance polymer. This semi-crystalline advanced material exhibits a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance, thereby making it the most popular advanced plastics material. The Ketron PEEK family of materials is based on polyetheretherketone resin.
