PEEK Rod

PEEK rod (polyether ether ketone) is an extremely tough, wear resistant plastic with excellent resistance to high temperatures and energy radiation. It is very dimensionally stable and has a high mechanical bearing strength. PEEK rod also offers excellent chemical resistance and a high resistance to hydrolysis, even against super-heated steam. It is also electrically insulating, has good sliding properties and is easily machined. PEEK rod is available to buy online at PAR Direct by clicking the link above.
