PEEK Plastic Sheet, Rod & Tube

PEEK plastic is a temperature-resistant engineered machinable thermoplastic with excellent chemical resistance, fatigue resistance and thermal stability.

PEEK exhibits superior mechanical and electrical properties with a maximum continuous working temperature of 480°F to 500°F and excellent retention of mechanical properties up to 570°F in a steam or high-pressure water environment.

Superior chemical resistance has allowed PEEK to work effectively as a metal/stainless steel replacement in harsh environments, and has proven to be a reliable replacement for other materials that cost up to 10 times more.

PEEK is inert to all common solvents and resists a wide range of organic and inorganic liquids. This is a versatile high performance plastic.
