PEEK Grades
Unfilled PEEK
Unfilled PEEK is a general purpose, unreinforced grade that offers the highest elongation and toughness. It is ideal for applications requiring high purity and excellent mechanical properties.

30% PEEK reinforced with carbon fibers
Carbon fiber reinforcement improves PEEK's compressive strength and stiffness while significantly reducing its expansion rate. It provides optimum wear resistance and load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for high-performance applications.

The addition of glass fibers significantly reduces gambling dataset the expansion rate and increases the flexural modulus of PEEK. This grade is suitable for structural applications requiring increased strength, stiffness and stability.

PEEK Bearing Grade
This grade is reinforced with carbon fibers, graphite and PTFE lubricants, providing the lowest coefficient of friction and best machinability of all PEEK grades. It is ideal for bearings, bushings and other applications requiring low friction and high wear resistance.

Improvements and modifications of PEEK plastic
Annealing
Annealing is a heat treatment process that changes the physical and sometimes chemical properties of PEEK to increase its ductility and make it easier to work. This process can relieve internal stresses, refine the structure, and improve cold working properties, which increases the life of machined plastic parts.

Stress relief
Stress relieving involves heating PEEK to a temperature below the critical range to relieve stresses due to cold working, shearing or gas cutting. This improves dimensional stability and reduces the risk of cracking and distortion during machining.

Lubricants
Incorporating lubricants such as PTFE into PEEK can significantly reduce its coefficient of friction, making it suitable for applications requiring low friction and high wear resistance.

Filling and reinforcement products
Adding fillers such as glass or carbon fibers improves the mechanical and thermal properties of PEEK. These modifications can improve strength, stiffness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity, making PEEK suitable for specific applications.
