PEEK: The High-Performance Polymer for Demanding Industrial Applications
PEEK: The High-Performance Polymer for Demanding Industrial Applications
PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic ideal for extreme environments. At Manufactures Cusell, we use PEEK to manufacture precision components for industries where reliability and durability are critical.
What is PEEK?
PEEK is a semicrystalline polymer from the polyaryletherketone family. It is known for its outstanding thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties, making it a top choice for high-demand industrial uses.
Key properties
-
Withstands continuous temperatures up to 250 °C and peaks of 300 °C.
-
Excellent chemical resistance, even to acids, bases, and solvents.
-
Very low friction and high wear resistance.
-
Good dielectric and dimensional stability.
-
Suitable for food contact applications (with certifications available).
-
Resistant to radiation and hydrolysis in humid or sterilizable environments.
Industrial applications
-
Aerospace and automotive: structural components, gears, guide rings.
-
Medical sector: sterilizable parts, temporary implants.
-
Chemical industry: valves, seals, insulators.
-
Electrical and electronics: housings, connectors, insulating parts.
-
Mechanical engineering: bushings, sliding parts, screws.
