The range of diameter models of PEEK rods on the market is generally between 3-260mm, normal 1m/3m long, PEEK rods are made of PEEK raw material particles extruded through the extrusion equipment extrusion molding of semi-finished profiles, PEEK rods are widely used in small batches of large sizes or injection molding and other processes can not meet the requirements of the product machining.
PEEK rods are mainly available in five grades and models: pure PEEK rods, PEEK carbon fiber reinforced (+30% CF) rods, PEEK fiberglass reinforced (+30% GF) rods, PEEK bearing grade (+10% PTFE +10% graphite +10%) rods, PEEK antistatic rods.
PEEK is a high-temperature resistant thermoplastic with a high glass transition temperature (143°C) and melting point (334°C), and a loaded thermal deformation temperature of up to 316°C (30% glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced grades).
In different application scenarios, materials can be selected or special customized as required. Pure PEEK rods have more complete market specifications due to the range of applications, cheaper prices and larger market capacity, while other grades of PEEK rods need to look at each company's own specifications, with fewer options.
