Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional strength, resistance to high temperatures, and chemical stability. This material retains its mechanical properties even at extreme temperatures of up to 250 °C, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications. Additionally, PEEK is wear-resistant and has a low coefficient of friction.
The production of PEEK involves polymerisation of monomers based on aromatic ketones and ethers. The material is then processed through techniques such as injection moulding, extrusion, and machining. Thanks to its properties, PEEK is suitable for applications requiring high strength, thermal stability, and resistance to chemical and mechanical influences.
PEEK is widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, for example, in the production of bearings, valves, implants, and engine components. It is also employed in electronics due to its excellent electrical insulating properties. Its long service life and high resistance to extreme conditions make PEEK one of the most advanced engineering plastics.
