This PEEK (polyetheretherketone) rod from RS PRO is designed for manufacturing components with high strength and toughness while remaining lightweight. The unit is a popular choice in the motorsports industry.
Thanks to the superior resistance to high temperatures and wear, PEEK is useful for manufacturing valve timing drives and components in high-performance applications. It doesn't degrade easily in steam or high-pressure water environments, so it's ideal for making steam and water mixers. The unit is capable of absorbing over 1000 Mrads (Megarads) of radiation without loss of mechanical properties, so it's widely used for research in nuclear applications.
Excellent chemical resistance along with a maximum operating temperature of +250°C makes it suitable for aggressive industrial environments and automotive settings. The unit has been tested by engineers to ensure its quality and reliability.
