Description
PEEK Rod 25mm Dia
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) 25mm rod is a high-grade engineering thermoplastic developed for manufacturing precision parts in industries where material performance is critical. Its semi-crystalline composition provides a combination of strength, heat tolerance and chemical durability, making it suitable for equipment exposed to demanding operating conditions.
With a melting point of 343°C and a continuous service temperature of up to 260°C, PEEK retains its mechanical capabilities in applications involving substantial thermal exposure. Its tensile strength of approximately 90–100 MPa and excellent stiffness support the production of rigid components. The material also offers low-friction performance and resistance to abrasion, helping reduce wear in parts subject to repeated movement.
PEEK withstands many organic and aqueous chemicals and provides good resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation. It carries a UL 94 V-0 self-extinguishing classification and is food compliant. Its biocompatibility and compatibility with certain vacuum applications make it useful across specialist engineering sectors. The 25mm dia rod can be machined into customised components and used as a metal alternative in suitable applications.
