What material is PEEK?
WHAT IS PEEK MATERIAL? PEEK material (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with outstanding harsh chemical resistance, very low moisture uptake, good fire performance, excellent mechanical strength across a broad temperature range, and good dimensional stability.
Where is PEEK manufactured?
High performance polymer solutions supplier, Victrex, has announced the joint-venture between its subsidiary, Victrex Hong Kong and Yingkou Xingfu Chemical Company. Together the two companies aim to build and operate a new PolyEther Ether Ketone (PEEK) polymer manufacturing facility in Liaoning, China.
Is PEEK absorbable?
There is no metal present and therefore no metallic scatter is seen on MRI scan and the material is radiolucent. PEEK mechanical properties closely match the mechanical properties of bone: tensile yield strength, shear strength and modulus. PEEK is biocompatible and highly biostable.

Can you 3D print PEEK?
PEEK is a demanding 3D printing material In 3D printing, the crystallization process of PEEK must be controlled. To print 3D print PEEK, you will therefore need a 3D printer with an extruder that can reach 400°C, a chamber heated of 120°C, and a build plate that can heat to 230°C to remove the part and avoid warping.
Is PEEK Flamable?
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a semicrystalline, high-temperature (up to 500° F) engineering thermoplastic that is excellent for applications where thermal, chemical, and combustion properties (UL flammability rating of V-0) are critical to performance.
Who is the leading supplier of Peek plastic?
