    Wear‑Resistant High‑Temperature PEEK Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Wear‑Resistant High‑Temperature PEEK Bars.
    Ideal for demanding applications, these PEEK sheets stand up to stress, friction, and heat that would cause other materials to chip, crack, or warp. They also withstand chemical exposure. Use them to create precision semiconductor components, such as wafer carriers and test fixtures. They’re also great for fabricating structural brackets for aerospace environments.

    Metal- and X-Ray Detectable PEEK Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra Chemical Resistant, Bar, PEEK, Highly Wear Resistant, Metal Detectable.
    If a piece breaks off, there’s no need to worry that it will contaminate your food- or pharmaceutical-processing line. These PEEK bars contain additives that trigger metal detectors and are visible on X-ray systems for easy identification and removal. Their bright blue color provides an additional visual check to support compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    While standard PEEK bars are built for high-precision and structural applications, these PEEK bars are designed for environments where high hygiene standards are critical. They resist cracking, chipping, or flaking from bumps, scrapes, or impact. They’ll also withstand high-temperature steam and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Use them for guide rails and wear strips in food- and pharmaceutical-processing equipment.

    Ceramic-Filled PEEK Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ceramic-Filled PEEK Sheets.
    When precision is needed, these PEEK plastic sheets can be machined to exact specifications because they contain ceramic filler. They’re a great choice for contact plates and electronic testing fixtures, both of which require intricate detail and thin cross sections. They also perform well in semiconductor fabrication, vacuum systems, and high-temperature electrical applications.

    Machine Key Stock

    Cut this square or rectangular key stock to length to create a straight machine key. Straight keys are the most common type of key. Machine keys are often the same material as the shaft and other components with which they are used. To use a key as a sacrificial part, choose a softer key that will shear off when parts are exposed to excessive force, preventing damage to expensive equipment.
    PEEK
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Key Stock. Machine Key Stock.
    PEEK key stock resists chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures. It meets MIL-P-46183 Type 1 military specifications for nonreinforced plastic.
    Undersized Tolerance—Slightly smaller than the size listed in the table, undersized stock is the choice when you need a slightly looser fit or when you have an inconsistent keyway. Use it when parts need to be taken apart frequently, such as for maintenance or prototyping.

    Static-Dissipative PEEK Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Static-Dissipative PEEK Sheets.
    In addition to the same wear and heat resistance as standard PEEK sheets, these sheets also protect sensitive components and processes from static discharge. They withstand acids, solvents, and other chemicals used in wet manufacturing processes, so they’re great for test fixtures, electronic enclosures, and carrier plates. They’re often used in aerospace and semiconductor applications, where control over static electricity is critical.
