OVERVIEW of PEEK Resin - Vestakeep®

PEEK Resin & Shapes - Vestakeep® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) made by Evonik Industries AG has all the properties associated with PEEK, including:

Thermal index up to 500°F

Chemical inertness

Inherently low smoke and smoke toxicity

Good electrical properties

Excellent sliding friction

Compounds with HDT up to 600°F

Vestakeep® PEEK offers superior elongation, ductility, and impact properties which offers advantages to the machinist as well as the OEM. Tougher, less notch sensitive material is easier to machine. Higher resilience resists parts cracking under load and around threaded features which can mean lower part field failures.

Vestakeep® PEEK also is accepted in the semiconductor process industry due to very low out-gassing and extremely low trace metals like sodium.

Vestakeep® PEEK often replaces metals to reduce weight, eliminate corrosion, reduce system cost, and improve part reliability in a wide number of industries. Vestakeep® PEEK meets many specifications including: FDA compliant for food contact, is UL registered, and on a lot-to-lot basis Mil Spec 46183. Call Professional Plastics for more information on medical grade resins.
VESTAKEEP® PEEK Resin is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that can be melt processed by Injection Molding, Compression Molding, and Extrusion. Professional Plastics VESTAKEEP® PEEK Resins for Injection-Molding & Compression Molding. PEEK plastic is best known for the following properties: Chemical & environmental inertness, Heat resistance, High heat deflection temperature, Dimensional stability due to low water absorption, High hardness & abrasion resistance, Good strength at elevated temperatures, Good electrical properties, Good radiation resistance & Inherent flame resistance.
