Polyether ether ketone PEEK
Polyether ether ketone is an engineering thermoplastic resistant to high temperatures, with its melting point at 335 °C (635 °F). Up until 280°C (540°F), PEEK is resistant against hydrolysis and almost every organic or inorganic chemical. PEEK can be formed by injection molding in its liquid state or via extrusion.
