We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
A high quality and very high-performance engineering plastic material; chemical name is polyetheretherketone, and it’s available in a range of grades and forms to suit many applications.
The machinability of un-modified PEEK 450G™ is very good. The glass or carbon fibre reinforced grades will require tipped tooling. As with all plastic materials, experience has shown that extra care must be taken with larger diameters, especially in the colder months when plastic materials lose some of their toughness, and so have less resistance to machining stresses. Full machining instructions are available on request.
Smiths’ PEEK material has good resistance to water and water vapour (un-filled material has excellent hydrolysis resistance), alcohols, esters, alkaline solutions, oils, fats and fuels. It is not resistant to sulphuric acid, nitric acid, halogens, MEK at raised temperatures.
As part of our PEEK product range, we also stock grades which include carbon and glass fibre as well as a self-lubricating material grade.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock VICTREX™ PEEK 450G in round bar, plate, sheet, round tube and hollow bar.
