Frequently asked questions
Injection at 360–400 °C, mould at 150–200 °C. Strict pre-drying: 6–8 hours at 150 °C. Requires high-performance injection moulding machines with a thermal barrier. Very high viscosity → high injection pressure. Moderate shrinkage (1.0–1.5 %).
PEEK is difficult to recycle economically. Production scrap is carefully recovered and reground for mixing into filled grades. Chemical recycling remains in the research stage.
Certain PEEK grades are approved for food contact (FDA, EU Regulation 10/2011) and medical applications (USP Class VI, ISO 10993). They are used in high-temperature food processing equipment and sterilisable surgical instruments.
