PEEK 12mm Round Plastic Rod for Precision Component Manufacturing

PEEK Rod 12mm Dia

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) 12mm rod is a specialist engineering material designed for manufacturing components that must operate reliably in extreme industrial conditions. This high-performance thermoplastic combines excellent load-bearing capability with resistance to heat, chemicals and mechanical deterioration, making it suitable for applications where ordinary plastics may fall short.

Its ability to operate continuously at temperatures up to 260°C, alongside a melting point of 343°C, makes PEEK particularly valuable for heat-intensive equipment. The material delivers tensile strength of approximately 90–100 MPa and maintains its mechanical performance when exposed to demanding working environments. Its resistance to friction and surface damage also makes it useful for parts involving repeated movement and contact.

PEEK provides good resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation and performs well against many organic and aqueous substances. It meets the UL 94 V-0 self-extinguishing classification and is food compliant. Its machinability allows it to be shaped into specialised components for industries requiring dependable material performance.
