Description

PEEK Rod 6mm Dia

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) 6mm rod is a premium engineering plastic designed for precision-manufactured components used in demanding industrial environments. Its semi-crystalline structure provides excellent dimensional stability, allowing small components to maintain their mechanical performance when exposed to elevated temperatures, heavy loads and aggressive operating conditions.

With a continuous service temperature of up to 260°C and a melting point of 343°C, this material is suitable for applications where ordinary engineering plastics may struggle. Its high tensile strength, rigidity and resistance to chemical attack make it a reliable option for producing compact parts that require consistent performance. PEEK also offers excellent resistance to friction, abrasion and wear, supporting its use in moving mechanisms and dry-running assemblies.

The material is self-extinguishing to UL 94 V-0 standards and is food compliant. It also provides resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation and can be used in selected vacuum applications. Its machinability makes it suitable for creating accurate, specialised components across several technical industries.
