What is PEEK Polymer

With the continuous increase in the demand for high-performance materials in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, medical and industrial equipment, PEEK polymer has become a core material in engineering plastics due to its excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance and wear resistance. The InLube™ series of lubricating PEEK polymer launched by Americhem, by adding PTFE lubricants and glass fiber/carbon fiber reinforcement, significantly enhance friction and wear resistance while ensuring strength and stability, providing a reliable solution for high-demand applications.

01 | The common characteristics of InLube™ PEEK Polymer

Lubrication performance: PTFE addition reduces the coefficient of friction and extends service life.

Reinforcement method: Glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforcement to enhance mechanical strength and dimensional stability.

Heat resistance performance: The maximum heat distortion temperature can reach up to 316℃.

Flame retardant performance: Some models comply with UL94 V-0.

Processability: All are suitable for injection molding processes.

These features make the InLube™ series an ideal choice for applications that require wear resistance, low friction and high temperature resistance.

02 | Application field

Automobile: gears, bearing housings, pump components

Aerospace: Friction parts, wear-resistant components

Medical: Structural components of medical devices (medical-grade models)

Промышленное оборудование: compressor parts, guiding components, sliding elements
