Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is the only thermoplastic that can be used at temperatures approaching 300\u00b0C. This semi-crystalline polymer is thus the most high-performing of all commercial thermoplastics.<\/p>\n
PEEK is used in demanding applications in many industries, e.g. the medical technology and automotive industries. It is also suitable for use in electronics and mechanical engineering applications. Some common application areas for PEEK are slide rails, seals, bushings, rolling bearings, gearwheels, and insulation materials. <\/p>\n
