It offers resistance to hydrolysis in sea water, water, and steam. PEEK is suited for continuous use at temperatures up to 338oF and has the capacity to sustain stiffness at high temperatures (170oC). In demanding areas like semiconductor, oil and gas, food and beverage processing, and aerospace, this engineering plastic has an established track record.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":13595,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.iemai3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>IEMAI 3D PEEK Material<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>PEEK is a crystalline substance with one of the highest tensile strengths in the polymer industry.
