PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

High-performance plastic for the highest technical demands

Temperature-resistant, chemical-resistant, electrically insulating, and ultra-robust: PEEK is the first choice for demanding applications. Rely on durability and precision – with PEEK products from emico.

What is PEEK?

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer from the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family. PEEK consists of repeating ether ("-O-") and ketone ("-C(=O)-") groups in its molecular structure. This special chemical arrangement ensures high thermal stability (melting temperature approximately at 335 °C), chemical resistance and mechanical strength. These properties make it a preferred material for extreme industrial applications.

Why PEEK?

PEEK combines the advantages of metal and plastic: It is lightweight, high-strength, resistant to extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals - and also offers excellent electrical insulation. The material remains dimensionally stable and durable even under extreme conditions. This makes it ideal for applications where other materials reach their limits, for example, in demanding industries such as medical technology, automotive, and electronics.

Customer review

„We use PEEK screws from emico in the high-voltage battery of our electric race car – wherever electrical conductivity is not desired. PEEK is the optimal material for us: extremely robust, high-temperature resistant, flame-retardant according to UL94 V0, yet still lightweight. This is a huge advantage, especially in batteries and other high-voltage components, because both electrical insulation and mechanical strength are crucial here. What do we particularly like about the collaboration? The emico team is always very friendly and helpful. We receive exactly the support we need quickly and easily – and this is now the second year in a row." – Running Snail OTH Amberg-Weiden
