CNC Machining In PEEK – What Is PEEK Plastic?

PEEK plastic is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic special engineering plastic, and its Chinese name is polyetheretherketone. PEEK plastic has excellent comprehensive properties such as high temperature resistance, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, hydrolysis resistance, wear resistance and fatigue resistance. PEEK plastic was initially used in the national defense and military industries, and then gradually expanded to civilian fields, including industrial manufacturing, aerospace, automotive industry, electronic and electrical, and medical equipment. PEEK plastic is suitable for various processing methods such as injection molding, extrusion molding, compression molding and melt spinning. In recent years, the combination of PEEK resin with advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing has given it a new development direction in medical fields such as medical implants.
