PEEK – Ketron

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance plastic that stands out for its exceptional properties and wide range of industrial applications. Marketed under the Ketron brand, PEEK is known for its strength and reliability, even in the most demanding environments.

Properties and Advantages

Temperature Resistance: PEEK can withstand continuous temperatures of up to 260°C (500°F), making it ideal for applications where other plastics would fail. Its thermal stability ensures consistent performance even at high temperatures.

Chemical Resistance: This material offers excellent resistance to chemicals, including solvents, acids, and bases. This makes it valuable in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, where exposure to corrosive agents is common.

Durability and Mechanical Strength: PEEK is distinguished by its resistance to wear, impact, and heavy loads. Its rigidity and toughness make it a preferred choice for parts subjected to severe mechanical conditions.

Low Friction: PEEK has a low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance, making it suitable for rolling and sliding applications, particularly in motion and rotation systems.
