Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PEEK MOD rod be machined using standard metalworking equipment?
Yes, the rod can be machined using conventional metalworking tools such as lathes and milling machines. Sharp tools, appropriate cutting speeds and proper support are recommended to achieve good surface finish and maintain dimensional accuracy.
Is this material suitable for continuous use at high temperatures?
Yes, modified PEEK with carbon, graphite and PTFE fill is designed for continuous service at elevated temperatures while maintaining its mechanical strength and wear resistance. It is often selected for applications where standard engineering plastics would soften or degrade.
Which diameter and length should I choose for my application?
Select a diameter that allows sufficient material for machining your finished component, including allowances for tolerances and any surface finishing. Choose the closest standard length (1000 mm, 2000 mm or 3000 mm) that minimises waste when cutting your required parts.
