Engineering Plastics: PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

PEEK material (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with outstanding harsh chemical resistance, very low moisture intake, good fire performance, excellent mechanical strength across a broad temperature range, and good dimensional stability. PEEK plastic is tough, strong, and rigid, with superior creep resistance, and is excellent for applications where thermal, chemical, and combustion properties are critical to performance. PEEK material retains its stiffness and strength for use in harsh high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) environments. PEEK is often used as the body for electrical connectors to minimize thermal expansion, provide chemical resistance, and to promote effective sealing. PEEK materials for a variety of sealing system components, as well as sensor housings and numerous high-performance applications in aircraft engines and other demanding environments. With our workshop in Brisbane (QLD), Tynic is able to machine components efficiently and with minimal tolerances.
