What is PEEK resin? | High-Temperature Super Engineering Plastic
Combining heat resistance of 260℃ and high strength. An explanation of PEEK resin, which is gaining attention as a metal alternative and in high-temperature environments.
PEEK resin (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance resin that possesses particularly high heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance among super engineering plastics. Its continuous use temperature is around 250 to 260°C, and it can maintain stable performance even in high-temperature environments, leading to its adoption in a wide range of fields such as semiconductors, automotive, medical, and food machinery. In recent years, with the movement towards PFAS regulations, it has also gained attention as an alternative to fluoropolymer materials, and interest is increasing in applications that require "high durability" and "high reliability."
basic information
PEEK stands for "Poly Ether Ether Ketone," and it is a high-performance resin classified as a super engineering plastic. It is particularly excellent in stability under high-temperature environments, with heat resistance capable of continuous use at temperatures around 250 to 260°C. It can maintain mechanical properties even under high temperatures, which is difficult for general engineering plastics, making it suitable for high-temperature transport components, sliding parts exposed to heat, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts. Additionally, it possesses excellent mechanical strength and fatigue resistance, demonstrating stable performance even in environments where loads are repeatedly applied. Furthermore, it excels in electrical insulation and chemical resistance, making it applicable in a wide range of industrial uses. In recent years, its use as a metal alternative material has also been advancing, with expectations for contributions to weight reduction and longer lifespan.

Applications/Examples of results
PEEK resin is widely used in applications that require high temperature, high load, and high durability. For example, in the semiconductor field, it is utilized in high-temperature transport components and chemical contact parts; in the automotive sector, it is used for sliding parts and insulating components; and in food machinery, it is employed in mechanical parts that can withstand high-temperature cleaning processes. Additionally, in the medical field, the use of materials that leverage chemical resistance and heat resistance is increasing. Furthermore, our company offers "PEEKCOAT," a coating made from PEEK resin, which imparts wear resistance, chemical resistance, and insulation properties to metal substrates, contributing to the longevity of equipment parts and reducing maintenance needs. We can also accommodate thickness and specification designs tailored to specific applications and usage conditions.

Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
