VICTREX PEEK is a linear aromatic semi-crystalline thermoplastic.

It is widely regarded as the highest performance material capable of being processed on conventional thermoplastic equipment. Unfilled and filled VICTREX PEEK is supplied in the form of pellets, powder or ultra fine powder. Pellets are generally recommended for injection molding, extrusion, monofilament and wire coating operations. Powder is used for extrusion compounding, while fine powders are generally used for coating processes and compression molding.

Victrex PEEK Melting Temperature

The melting temperature of VICTREX PEEK is 343°C (649°F). The melt is stable and workable with most conventional process equipment between 360°C and 400°C (680°F and 752°F).

VICTREX PEEK Thermoplastic Process Preparation and Handling 

VICTREX PEEK is supplied in a sealed polyethylene bag inside a heavy-duty cardboard box or a pallet-sized box. It is strongly recommended that the materials remain sealed in the original packaging during subsequent transportation and storage. When material is required, the boxes should be opened in a clean environment and care taken to avoid contamination. Any remaining material should be re-sealed as soon as possible and stored in a dry place. As long as VICTREX PEEK high performance thermoplastic is kept sealed, dry, in its original box and not left in direct sunlight, it may be stored in excess of 10 years.
