PAEK Plastic Uses

Strength, durability, versatility

Excellent stability at high temperatures
Ideal for metal replacement

Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) is a class of semi-crystalline thermoplastic that is used for a wide variety of industrial applications. The powerful combination of thermal stability, chemical resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures makes PAEK one of the most versatile thermoplastics on the market. It can be machined using injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, and transfer molding.

The main characteristics that make PAEK such a great thermoplastic for machining and injection molding are:

Wear resistance
Mechanical and chemical resistance
Electrical insulation
Low moisture absorption
Corrosion resistance
Abrasion resistance
Flame Retardant
Machinability

How we use PAEK plastic

PAEK plastic uses take advantage of its exceptional heat, chemical, and hydrolysis resistance. Major applications include seals, valves, and bearings for oil drilling, chemical pumps, and automotive gears. PAEK plastics have very few toxic and corrosive fumes and allow heat output when burned, making it appropriate for use in aviation interiors. Plus, due to its excellent resistance to hydrolysis, which means it does not break down when sterilized, we use PAEK to create components for medical devices and surgical implants.
