PEEK [Polyether Ether Ketone]
PEEK is a semi-crystalline super polymer that combines excellent mechanical characteristics with incredible thermal and chemical resistance properties, used in extreme applications where electrical insulation, high wear resistance and low friction coefficient are also required. PEEK, Polyether Ether Ketone, is a semi-crystalline plastic that belongs to the PAEK (Polyaryletherketone) family of polymers.
It has high mechanical properties and, thanks to the diphenyl-ketone groups in its chemical structure, has high thermal and oxidation resistance. The molecular structure of the filament also includes ether bonds that provide flexibility, and due to the semi-crystalline nature of this plastic, it has high resistance to creep and wear over a wide temperature range. The filament also shows high volume and surface resistivity and, together with its high thermal resistance, can maintain good insulating properties over a wide temperature range.
