International Plastics is one of the world's leaders for injection molded PEEK parts. It is an area of expertise for International Plastics. Being an Evonik & Victrex approved PEEK molder reaffirms our position as the go-to molder for your PEEK parts.
PEEK is one of the most sophisticated polymers available today. Its properties make it a great material for products that are in demanding environments. It is a great plastic to convert metal parts into.
The following are some of the properties PEEK is characterized by:
- Very high heat resistance
- High rigidity
- Low water absorption and therefore high dimensional stability
- Excellent sliding friction behavior, minimal abrasion
- Good electrical characteristics
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Excellent hydrolytic stability
To meet the requirements of different applications, the properties of pure PEEK can be changed selectively by adding various additives.
Fillers and reinforcing materials increase rigidity and dimensional stability upon exposure to heat. Chopped carbon fibers are most effective for this. Minerals and glass microbeads also counteract the tendency to warp.
Applications:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Rail cars
- Machinery and apparatus construction
- Electrical and cable
- Medical technology
- Food processing industry
- Oil & Gas industry
- Wear & friction applications
- Life sciences
- Compressor components
- Valves & Seals
- Metal replacement
With over 20 years of molding PEEK, International Plastics can assist you in finding the right PEEK grade for your application.
