PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) in CNC Machining
PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. RapidDirect offers natural beige and black PEEK for CNC machining and injection molding in aerospace, medical, automotive, and electronic applications.
- High strength: PEEK supports parts exposed to significant mechanical stress.
- Heat resistance: The material retains useful mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
- Chemical resistance: PEEK withstands exposure to a wide range of chemicals.
- Dimensional stability: Low moisture absorption supports reliable part dimensions.
Selection note: PEEK is suited to demanding parts exposed to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. CNC machining and injection molding support both custom geometries and production needs.
