PEEK - Polyetheretherketone 

PEEK material (chemically known as polyetheretherketone) is manufactured by Ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining and is extruded in sheet, rod and tube using Victrex® PEEK 450G polymer. PEEK is a unique semi crystalline, engineering thermoplastic that also offers excellent chemical compatibility.

Parts manufactured from high temperature plastic PEEK polymer can also operate at temperatures up to 260°C (480°F) and have a melting point around 341°C (646°F). PEEK plastic is often used in hot water or steam environments while maintaining physical properties such as flexural and tensile strength on a high level. Experienced users have come to realise the added value that PEEK materials bring, by offering the possibility of manufacturing parts that are lighter, stronger and able to survive longer in harsh environments.

Ensinger PEEK can also be provided as a high strength composite using woven carbon fibres as the reinforcing agent. These materials are typically found in Ensinger's TECATEC family of products. 

In addition to extruded PEEK shapes, Ensinger also offers PEEK shapes made with other processing techniques. These techniques include compression moulding (under the Ensinger tradename of TECAPEEK CM / XP), spin moulding (referred to as TECAPEEK SM) and injection moulding (called TECAPEEK IM).

Ensinger is a manufacturer and supplier of PEEK shapes such as:

• PEEK rod
• PEEK sheet
• PEEK tube
