FAQ
-
PEEK fibres are produced by polycondensation. The polymer is processed into fibres using the melt spinning process.
-
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional thermal and mechanical stability.
-
PEEK offers continuous temperature resistance up to approximately 250°C and has a high melting point of around 330°C, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments.
-
Yes. PEEK provides good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, supporting its use in aggressive industrial environments.
-
PEEK has good radiation resistance, which makes it suitable for specialised technical applications where exposure to radiation may occur.
-
Yes. PEEK fibres are characterised by high rigidity, contributing to dimensional stability and structural performance.
-
Yes. PEEK is a thermoplastic material with a defined melting point and high thermal stability.
-
PEEK threads are used in aerospace, automotive, filtration, industrial processing and other high-temperature or chemically demanding applications.
-
Because it combines high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, radiation resistance and mechanical rigidity in one material.
-
Compared to common synthetic fibres, PEEK offers significantly higher temperature stability and improved resistance to harsh industrial conditions.
