PEEK machining is the process of cutting, annealing, and drilling PEEK. But what exactly is PEEK? Known as polyether ether ketone, it’s an organic thermoplastic polymer, part of the larger polyacryl ether ketone family (PAEK). It’s a colorless material, and like other thermoplastic polymers, it’s resistant to extreme temperatures. The most common applications for PEEK are building various industrial parts, such as pumps, HPLC columns, cable insulation, pistons, bearings, and compressor plate valves. You’ll typically find PEEK within the automotive, chemical process, or aerospace industries. Other common industries include pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, food and beverage, and electronics and telecom.
So why should you choose polyether ether ketone for your products? In short, this is a highly durable thermoplastic polymer. As mentioned before, it’s especially valuable for the strict requirements of industrial manufacturing. A few characteristics of PEEK include:
- Temperature resistance
- Weather resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- High-impact resistance
- Optimal flexural and tensile strength
- Optimal electrical properties
