PEEK material performance
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance, engineering thermoplastic characterized by an unusual combination of properties. These properties range from high temperature performance to mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance.
ARKPEEK-1000: 100% PEEK
A high performance thermoplastic, PolyEtherEtherKetone. It is semi- crystalline and offers high- strength and stiffness as well as high-heat resistance. Also, as it is chemically resistant to aggressive environments, it is suitable for sterilisation for medical and food contact applications.
● Similar strength to low-grade alloys
● Flame retardant, UL94-V0
● High impact & wear resistance
● Semi-crystalline structure providing outstanding mechanical and thermal properties
● Very high chemical resistance (after annealing)
● Can be used up to 260°C/500F (after annealing)
ARKPEEK-CF30: 30% Carbon Fiber + 70% PEEK
A high-performance thermoplastic, PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), reinforced with Carbon-Fiber. It offers high stiffness and high-heat resistance.
● High dimensional stability and weight-to-strength ratio
● Higher stiffness at high temperatures, HDT A 315°C allows short term usage at even higher temperatures
● Very high chemical resistance (after annealing)
ARKPEEK-GF30: 30% Glass Fiber + 70% PEEK
A high-performance thermoplastic, PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), reinforced with Glass-Fiber. It offers high stiffness and high-heat resistance.
● High dimensional stability
● High electrical insulation
● HDT A 315°C allows short term usage at even higher temperatures
● Very high chemical resistance (after annealing)
