PEEK Material Properties
PEEK stands out due to its unique combination of advanced properties:
- High Mechanical Strength: Excellent tensile, flexural, and impact resistance.
- High Melting Point: Approximately 343°C (649°F), allowing for use in extreme thermal environments.
- Chemical Resistance: Inert to most acids, bases, solvents, and hydrocarbons.
- Radiation Resistance: Suitable for nuclear and sterilization applications.
- Dimensional Stability: Maintains performance across wide temperature and pressure ranges.
- Flame Resistance: Inherent flame retardancy and low smoke emissions.
These properties make PEEK plastic resin a go-to material for performance-critical parts.

PEEK Pellet Raw Material Options for Injection Molding & Extrusion
Standard PEEK
Our standard unfilled PEEK pellets provide excellent mechanical strength, thermal resistance up to 260°C, and superior chemical stability. Available in grades optimized for injection molding and extrusion, standard PEEK is ideal for general industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.
Voltage Resistant PEEK
Designed for insulating electrical components and high-voltage enclosures, voltage resistant PEEK pellets offer enhanced dielectric properties. We supply this variant in both injection molding and extrusion grades for use in aerospace connectors, EV systems, and electronics packaging.
Low Thermal Conductivity PEEK
These specially formulated pellets reduce heat transfer, making them excellent for applications requiring thermal insulation without sacrificing strength. Available in extrusion and injection molding versions, this PEEK grade is ideal for aerospace thermal barriers and electronic insulation.
PTFE-Filled PEEK
This compound integrates PTFE into the PEEK matrix to deliver exceptional wear resistance and reduced coefficient of friction. PTFE-filled PEEK pellets are widely used for self-lubricating bushings, seals, and bearing cages. We offer tailored grades for both injection molding and extrusion.
Antistatic PEEK
Formulated to dissipate static charges, antistatic PEEK pellets are critical for semiconductor handling tools, explosive environments, and cleanroom applications. Both extrusion-ready and molding-ready variants are available, maintaining performance without carbon shedding.
Ceramic-Filled PEEK
This filler enhances rigidity, compressive strength, and dimensional stability. Ceramic-filled PEEK pellets are suitable for structural or insulating parts and are available for injection molding and extrusion with uniform filler distribution and surface finish control.
Glass Fiber-Filled PEEK
A more balanced version of reinforced PEEK, this material offers strength and durability with reduced cost and density compared to carbon-filled alternatives. Available in extrusion and injection formulations for lightweight structural components.
High Strength Carbon Fiber-Filled PEEK
Combining extreme stiffness, high strength, and excellent wear resistance, these pellets are designed for demanding mechanical loads. With versions tailored for both injection molding and extrusion, this grade is ideal for aerospace actuators, robotic joints, and energy systems.
Carbon-Filled PEEK
For enhanced thermal conductivity and antistatic performance, carbon-filled PEEK pellets are a go-to for semiconductor, chemical processing, and thermal dissipation components. Available for extrusion and molding, this grade also improves structural rigidity.
Low Viscosity PEEK (for Filaments & Injection Molding)
These pellets are specifically designed for filament extrusion and fast-cycle injection molding, offering improved flow and filling characteristics without compromising strength. Ideal for 3D printed parts or intricate injection-molded geometries.
Standard Viscosity PEEK (for Film & Injection Molding)
Balanced for film extrusion and conventional molding, this grade ensures optimal melt strength and stability for thin-wall parts, sheets, and membranes while maintaining high mechanical integrity.
High Viscosity PEEK (for Extrusion)
Our high viscosity PEEK pellets are tailored for profile and tubing extrusion, offering excellent melt strength and dimensional consistency for thick-walled or complex extruded components.
