PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance engineering plastic with excellent high temperature resistance. PEEK has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of approximately 143°C and a melting point of approximately 343°C. It can be used in high temperature environments for a long time without losing its physical and mechanical properties.

PEEK’s high temperature resistance makes it widely used in many applications. For example, in aerospace, automotive, electronics, chemical and other industries, PEEK is often used to manufacture seals, valves, pump bodies, sensors and other components in high-temperature environments.

PEEK’s high temperature resistance also gives it good chemical resistance and wear resistance. It is resistant to many chemicals and has a low coefficient of friction, giving it excellent durability in environments where friction and wear are high.

In summary, PEEK has excellent high temperature resistance, making it an ideal choice for many high temperature environments.

Many aspects of processing and machinery change once you surpass 600°F or 320°C. PEEK is a semi-crystalline material, meaning a portion of its molecules form crystals, and all its performance is affected by its crystallinity.

To manufacture PEEK parts with full crystallinity, processing needs to be controlled in such a way as to maximize that crystallinity, and part geometry affects the processing methods to achieve that crystallinity.

Cost Considerations for PEEK

When considering the cost of PEEK, there are several factors to consider:

Raw material cost: The raw material cost of PEEK is relatively high, which is determined by its unique performance and high quality requirements. The production process of PEEK is relatively complex and requires the use of special raw materials and processes, which also leads to an increase in its cost. Therefore, raw material cost is an important part of PEEK cost.

Processing cost: The processing process of PEEK is relatively complex and requires the use of high-temperature and high-pressure injection molding equipment for processing. The cost of these equipment is high, and PEEK processing is difficult and requires higher technical requirements and operating experience, which will also increase processing costs. Therefore, processing costs are also an important part of PEEK costs.

Quality requirements: As a high-performance material, PEEK has high quality requirements. The production of PEEK products requires strict control of the production process and quality testing to ensure product performance and reliability. These quality control measures increase production costs. Therefore, quality requirements are also an important consideration in PEEK cost.

Supply and demand: The market demand for PEEK is relatively small and the supply is relatively small. This will also have an impact on the cost of PEEK, and the supply and demand relationship will affect the market price. Supply chain stability and supplier selection will also have an impact on the cost of PEEK.

Application fields and scale: The cost of PEEK will also vary in different application fields and scales. Some specific application fields may require higher performance and quality of PEEK, so the cost will increase accordingly. At the same time, the size of the production scale will also affect the cost of PEEK, and large-scale production can usually reduce costs.

PEEK is processed at temperatures over 600°F or 320°C and requires specially built processing machinery and tooling that needs to be constructed differently to handle elevated processing temperatures and flash points. Implant grades of PEEK are more expensive and require collaboration between the material manufacturer, processor, and customer.

The cost considerations of PEEK include factors such as raw material cost, processing cost, quality requirements, supply and demand, and application field and scale. When conducting PEEK cost assessment, these factors need to be considered comprehensively and analysis and decision-making based on specific circumstances.
