PEEK exhibits superior overall performance due to the presence of numerous benzene ring structures in its molecules.
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) resin is a high-performance specialty thermoplastic material and one of the most important varieties of commercially available polyaryletherketone resins. Currently, PEEK is widely used in petroleum, food processing, automotive, and aerospace industries due to its excellent electrical, mechanical, high-temperature, and corrosion resistance properties.
PEEK3600P is a powder with a high melt flow rate. The coarse powder after PEEK polymerization is used as a raw material for fine powder and granulation.
