PEEK Pellets

PEEK (Polyetheretheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic technical polymer that offers a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance.

PEEK pellets are small cylinders of the highest quality material. They do not incorporate recycled or recovered material. Because of these qualities, PEEK pellets are perfect for 3D printing, achieving high print quality. There are several methods for using pellets in 3D printing:

• PEEK pellets can be used in the manufacture of filament for FDM 3D printers using Filastruder or any other filament extruder.
• It is possible to use a pellet extruder for 3D printing directly.

With the combination of PEEK pellets and a good filament extruder such as Filastruder, it is possible to obtain 3D printing filament with qualities similar to those of commercial PEEK filament.

When using PEEK Pellets to make filament with a filament extruder such as Filastruder or using a pellet extruder for direct 3D printing, it should be noted that the extrusion temperature must be regulated in relation to the extrusion speed used. For optimal results, it is recommended to read the product's usage advice.

This material is suitable for applications requiring strength and stiffness as well as ductility. It is chemically resistant to aggressive environments and suitable for sterilisation for medical and food contact applications. It has very good resistance to UV rays and outdoor conditions and is therefore recommended for outdoor use.

Thanks to its properties, PEEK pellets can be used in a wide range of applications ranging from mechanical to surgical tools, as a substitute for original metal parts and components in connectors, insulation for industrial pumps or in vehicles among others.
