- Available in virgin and selected reinforced or functional grades
- Suitable for stock-shape supply and precision CNC machining
- Used where conventional engineering plastics may not meet application needs
Typical industries
- Semiconductor equipment
- Medical and laboratory equipment
- Aerospace systems
- Industrial automation
- Electronics manufacturing
- Fluid-handling equipment
Material properties
PEEK performance considerations
Review each property against the actual operating environment and selected grade before final material approval.
Chemical Resistance
PEEK offers resistance to many industrial chemicals. Compatibility should be reviewed against the actual chemical, concentration, temperature, and exposure time.
Dimensional Stability
PEEK offers useful stiffness and dimensional behavior for precision components. Geometry, residual stress, temperature, and machining sequence should be reviewed for critical parts.
Wear Resistance
Virgin and filled PEEK grades can support sliding, bearing, and wear-component applications when load, speed, mating surface, and lubrication are considered.
Electrical Insulation
PEEK is used for insulating components in electrical and semiconductor equipment. Grade, wall thickness, environment, and documentation requirements should be specified.
Grade selection
Common PEEK Grades
Grade selection should reflect the operating environment, component design, mating surfaces, and required documentation.
Virgin PEEK
Virgin PEEK is an unfilled grade selected for a balanced combination of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electrical performance in demanding components.
Glass Filled PEEK
Glass filled PEEK is considered when higher stiffness and dimensional control are important. Fiber content, machining behavior, and the application environment should be reviewed.
Carbon Filled PEEK
Carbon filled PEEK can provide increased stiffness and grade-dependent wear or electrical characteristics for precision industrial components.
Bearing Grade PEEK
Bearing grade PEEK uses application-specific fillers for sliding, friction, and wear components. Load, speed, mating surface, and lubrication should be included in the review.
