PEEK is a high performance engineering plastic which can withstand an extreme range of conditions while still retaining its core properties. It has a high operating temperature and low friction characteristics.
PEEK is able to operate at a constant temperature of 260°C but can also withstand an intermittent temperature of 300°C. PEEK is also very tolerant to most forms of radiation which makes it an ideal material for use within the X-ray departments of hospitals as well as the nuclear industry.
