Allplastics Engineering supply and machine PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) sheet and rod plastic products. PEEK is a high temperature plastic that is a semi crystalline, high performance thermoplastic for very demanding applications where excellent chemical resistance, high mechanical properties and temperature resistance up to 250°C are required.
PEEK Natural plastic products can be sterilised by conventional sterilisation methods and has a raw material composition which allows contact with food.
Other PEEK grades are available with additives such as PTFE, graphite and carbon. These additives result in a grade that is high wear, low friction and has high PV limits, making them ideal for wear and friction applications.
PEEK plastic products have a temperature range from -50°C to +250°C.
