FAQ

Q: What is PEEK 1000?
A: PEEK 1000 is virgin, unfilled polyether ether ketone, a high-performance thermoplastic known for its strength, chemical resistance and thermal stability.

Q: What diameter options are available?
A: 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 32mm, 40mm and 50mm, each in 1000mm lengths.

Q: Can PEEK rod be machined with standard tools?
A: Yes. PEEK machines well with sharp carbide tooling. Annealing after heavy machining helps hold tight tolerances.
