PEEK – PolyEtherKetone
PEEK (Victrex) is a workhorse – perhaps the closest to a perfect material that is utilized in a wide range of industries and in many different applications. It is known for its impressive durability in severe environments. Glass and carbon reinforced grades are among the strongest of all thermoplastics unfilled grades and they are highly resistant to some of the most chemically aggressive environments including high-pressure steam. Because of its robustness, PEEK is used to fabricate items used in demanding applications, including bearings, piston parts and electrical cable insulation. PEEK is considered an advanced biomaterial used in medical implants.
