Description
PEEK Rod 20mm Dia
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) 20mm rod is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic designed for components exposed to demanding industrial conditions. Its semi-crystalline structure provides excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical durability, making it suitable for applications where conventional plastics may not perform adequately.
With a continuous service temperature of up to 260°C and a melting point of 343°C, PEEK maintains its performance in high-temperature environments. Its tensile strength of approximately 90–100 MPa, combined with excellent rigidity, makes it suitable for precision components exposed to mechanical stress. The material also provides outstanding resistance to abrasion, friction and many organic and aqueous chemicals.
