PEEK has a vast and almost limitless range of applications but because of its high opperating temperatures, it is chosen for high temperature bearings and rollers. PEEK is also extensively used in the medical and even implant industry. It is popular for surgical instruments because it can withstand the highly repetitive sterilization processes. Because PEEK is FDA approved it is often used within the food processing industry and its excellent tolerance to microwaves is also an advantage. PEEK Rod is also used inside printers and photocopiers as bearings and rollers due to its low friction and high temperature capabilities. PEEK is often found within the aerospace industry as well as ministry of defence and other simular areas.
PEEK not only has a very high temperature tolerance, it has the highest fire rating possible which is V-0.
