Peek Polyetheretherketone High Performance Thermoplastic

A thermoplastic with high performance is polyetheretherketone. It is less toxic as compared to other when burned. Peek polyetheretherketone has some of the properties like it is semi crystalline, outstanding electrical properties so there is no need of additives. It has a high melting point. It is also water resistance. Polyetheretherketone also called PEEK. Crystalline part can be achieved by using a hot mold. Removal of peek permits to view the change of color to a colored solid from a semi transparent material. If the mold is not hot then the part becomes colorless. The temperature can be checked using a thermocouple which is highly recommended.

The peek mold must be developed for the high temperature practice along with insulators, draft etc. Peek is a costly material due its qualities. At the time of molding peek safety measures must be taken like hand gloves, face guard and eye glasses must be worn. It follows all the principles of thermoplastics, so all those principles must also be considered. The resin used must have the needed properties and also must be dry without any filler in it. It must be properly analyzed to assure its dryness. There are different grades or standards of peek available.
