POLY STAR offers a wide variety of designs and sizes of PEEK to suit different operating conditions.

Materials

PEEKPEEK-GF (glass fiber reinforced)PEEK-CF (carbon fiber reinforced)

Working Principle & Structure

PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance engineering plastic that retains most of its mechanical properties even near its melting point (roughly 343°C). Rod and tube stock is precision-machined into seal jackets, back-up rings, thrust washers, and wear rings, with glass or carbon fiber blended in to tune stiffness, wear resistance, and friction for the application.
