PEEK: the high-performance engineering polymer for demanding industrial applications
PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic used in sectors that demand an exceptional combination of thermal, chemical and mechanical properties. At Manufactures Cusell, we work with this material to manufacture technical parts that must perform under extreme conditions.
What is PEEK?
PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer belonging to the polyaryletherketone family. Its structure gives it high thermal stability, excellent wear resistance and outstanding performance against aggressive chemicals.
Key properties of PEEK
-
Withstands continuous temperatures of up to 250 °C, with peaks of up to 300 °C.
-
High chemical resistance, even to acids, bases and solvents.
-
Very low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance.
-
Good dielectric properties and dimensional stability.
-
Suitable for food-contact applications (certifications available).
-
Resistance to radiation and hydrolysis in humid or sterilisable environments.
Industrial applications of PEEK
-
Aerospace and automotive: structural components, gears, guide rings.
-
Medical: sterilisable parts, temporary implants.
-
Chemical industry: valves, seals, insulators.
-
Electrical and electronics sector: connectors, housings and insulating parts.
-
Mechanical engineering: bearings, sliding parts, spindles.
