Peek is short for polyetheretherketone and is light brown in colour.

It has many advantages which include excellent chemical resistance, impenetrable by most chemicals with the exception of concentrated sulphuric acid.

Excellent thermal and water resistant characteristics also help maintain high heat resistance strength.

Abrasion, shock and fatigue resistance as well as radiation and electrical properties are all listed as advantageous features.

Its heat resistant temperature of 180C makes it most useful for hot water and chemical pumps.

Other ideal applications include electrical/electronic field applications, transformers and computer machinery, chemical resistant environments such as FPD (flat panel display) and semiconductor production equipment/devices, printed circuit board etching devices, metal plating equipment and chemical plants.
