12mm PEEK Plastic Rod for High Temperature Industrial Fabrication

PEEK Rod 18mm Dia

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) 18mm rod is an advanced polymer developed for engineering tasks involving demanding temperatures, mechanical loads and chemical exposure. Its semi-crystalline composition provides a strong, rigid structure that makes it suitable for producing specialised components used in high-performance equipment.

This material can maintain its properties during continuous operation at temperatures up to 260°C and has a melting point of 343°C. With tensile strength of approximately 90–100 MPa, PEEK offers excellent resistance to deformation, surface wear and friction. It also withstands many organic and water-based substances, making it useful in environments where material reliability is essential.

PEEK has a UL 94 V-0 self-extinguishing classification and is food compliant. Its resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation, together with its biocompatible properties, supports its use in specialist technical sectors. The 18mm rod format can be precision-machined into components and provides a potential alternative to metal in suitable high-temperature applications.
