VICTREX™ PEEK, or polyetheretherketone, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic, often used in place of machined metals in a wide variety of critical end-use applications. PEEK is a superior performance thermoplastic material with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties. PEEK’s properties make it an excellent choice as a mechanical backup for softer seals. Not only can PEEK withstand high temperatures, but it can do so in extreme chemical service. These features have made it the material of choice for some applications in the oil and gas sector. Let us be your PEEK supplier!
