PEEK ROD (POLYETHERETHERKETONE)

Point Metal PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic and one of the "gold standard" polymers in industry. Capable of withstanding continuous 250°C operating temperatures and 310°C peak temperatures, it is unique in maintaining dimensional stability even under mechanical load. Chemically soluble only by concentrated sulfuric acid, it is fully resistant to all other acids, bases, and solvents. Used in aerospace as a lightweight alternative to metal and in medical as a standard for implant parts due to biocompatibility. Its exceptional resistance to gamma radiation and hydrolysis (hot water/steam) makes it an unrivaled engineering solution for nuclear facilities and autoclave systems.
