Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family. It is characterized by a linear aromatic semi-crystalline structure, composed of repeating units of ether and ketone groups within its molecular backbone. This molecular arrangement imparts PEEK with a unique combination of mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties that distinguish it from conventional engineering plastics.
PEEK exhibits excellent thermal stability, with a high melting point of approximately 343°C (649°F) and a glass transition temperature around 143°C (289°F). It maintains mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for continuous use in demanding thermal environments. Furthermore, its inherent chemical resistance allows it to withstand aggressive solvents, acids, and bases, even at high temperatures. PEEK is also known for its outstanding mechanical strength, dimensional stability, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance, which make it an ideal candidate for long-term applications under cyclic loading or exposure to harsh conditions.
Another key feature of PEEK is its low flammability and smoke emission, as well as its resistance to radiation and hydrolysis. This makes it suitable for use in aerospace, medical, and nuclear applications. In medical uses, PEEK is biocompatible and bioinert, which allows it to serve as a metal replacement in orthopedic implants, dental devices, and spinal fusion cages. Moreover, it is often used in 3D printing and additive manufacturing for custom applications, thanks to its processability in specialized printers.
In terms of manufacturing, PEEK can be processed via conventional thermoplastic methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding. However, due to its high melting point and crystallinity, processing requires high-performance machinery capable of maintaining elevated temperatures and pressures, which partially explains the relatively high cost of the resin.
The global PEEK resin market has grown steadily over the past two decades, evolving from a niche engineering plastic used in limited aerospace and defense applications to a versatile material deployed across various high-performance sectors. The market has seen increased demand driven by innovations in materials science, growing adoption in critical applications, and broader availability due to new production technologies and regional expansions.
The future of the PEEK market appears robust, with strong demand projected across multiple sectors. As technology evolves and performance expectations rise, the role of high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK will continue to grow. The expansion of 3D printing and advanced composites manufacturing also creates new avenues for customization and cost reduction.
