SUSTAPEEK – sheets, round rods & tubes / tubing
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) – properties & applications
We process the high performance plastic PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) under the brand name SUSTAPEEK as semi-finished products in the form of sheets, round rods and tubes as well as machined components.
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic high-performance material, and is characterised mainly by its very good mechanical properties and exceptional dimensional stability, even at high continuous operating temperatures of up to 250°C. Due to their properties, PEEK plastics are suitable for a wide range of applications with demanding operating conditions
Product range – SUSTAPEEK:
SUSTAPEEK is available as a semi-finished product in numerous dimensions and colours:
- PEEK sheets
- PEEK round rods
- PEEK tubes / tubing
We also offer machined components on the basis of customer drawings made from PEEK and cut-to-size PEEK.
