Unfilled PEEK
Unfilled PEEK pellets refer to Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) resin in its pure, unreinforced form. These pellets are not mixed with any additives, such as reinforcing fibers (e.g., carbon or glass fibers) or fillers. Unfilled PEEK is prized for its inherent properties, making it suitable for a variety of demanding applications without the need for reinforcement.

Application of unfilled PEEK pellets

Unfilled PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) pellets are used in a variety of high-performance applications due to their exceptional properties. Here are some common areas of application:
  • Aerospace: Used for components like bearings, seals, and insulating parts due to its lightweight nature, high strength, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures.

  • Automotive: Applied in engine parts, gears, and transmission components that require durability, chemical resistance, and high-temperature performance.

  • Medical Devices: Utilized in surgical instruments, implants (such as spinal cages and bone fixation devices), and dental applications due to its biocompatibility and sterilization resistance.

  • Oil & Gas: Suitable for seals, valves, and compressor plates that require excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals and high temperatures found in harsh environments.

  • Electronics: Used in connectors, insulators, and circuit boards because of its excellent electrical insulating properties and high-temperature stability.

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: PEEK components are employed in semiconductor fabrication equipment where low particle generation, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength are essential.

  • Chemical Processing: Applied in pumps, seals, and gaskets in chemical plants due to its resistance to solvents, acids, and bases, as well as its ability to function in high-pressure environments.

Unfilled PEEK is chosen in these industries because it offers a balance of properties that make it ideal for demanding applications where performance and reliability are critical.
