What is PEEK 450G<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

PEEK 450G is a non-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) plastic produced by Victrex, featuring a semi-crystalline structure, high fluidity, good toughness and thermal stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its natural color (beige) material form can be granular or powder, compatible with injection molding and extrusion molding processes, meeting food contact and medical grade standards, and featuring UL94 V-0 flame retardancy rating.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I. Analysis of Material Properties<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Structural features and fluidity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>PEEK 450G is made with a high-purity polyetheretherketone matrix without glass fiber or mineral reinforcement, thus featuring excellent melt fluidity (350 Pa\u00b7s, 400 \u00b0C), making it suitable for the molding of complex-structured and thin-walled products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Its semi-crystalline structure endows the material with both rigidity and toughness after molding, and it can still maintain dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength under high-temperature conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mechanical property balance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Tensile strength (yield) : 98 MPa<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Flexural modulus: 3.8-4.0 GPa<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Elongation at break: 45%<\/span><\/p>\n

PEEK 450G strikes a good balance between high rigidity and high ductility, making it suitable for medical device components that require both mechanical load-bearing and certain flexibility, such as surgical fixtures, pump and valve assemblies, and food processing machinery parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thermal performance and high-temperature stability<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Melting temperature: 343 \u00b0C<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Heat distortion temperature (1.8 MPa) : 152 \u00b0C<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Glass transition temperature: 143-150 \u00b0C<\/span><\/p>\n

Even at 275 \u00b0C, PEEK 450G still retains some mechanical strength (flexural strength of 12.5 MPa), demonstrating excellent heat aging resistance and is suitable for repeated steam disinfection and high-temperature cleaning conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electrical and insulation performance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

PEEK 450G combines high insulation with stable dielectric properties:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Volume resistivity: 10\u00b9\u2076 \u03a9\u00b7cm (23 \u00b0C)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Dielectric constant (1 kHz) : 3.1<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Dissipation factor: 0.004<\/span><\/p>\n

Its electrical stability and arc resistance performance (ASTM D495:5 PLC) make it suitable for high-precision medical testing equipment and electronic insulating components.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chemical resistance and cleanliness properties<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Thanks to the stability of the aromatic ketone and ether bonds in the PEEK molecular structure, PEEK 450G can resist acids, alkalis, solvents, steam and various cleaning agents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 -<\/strong>Meanwhile, the material's water absorption rate is only 0.45% - 0.55%, and it can maintain dimensional stability even in humid and high-temperature environments, making it highly suitable for the cleanliness requirements of food and medical environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ii. Suggestions for Processing Techniques<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbProcessing methods:<\/strong> Injection molding, extrusion molding<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbMelting temperature range:<\/strong> 370-400 \u00b0C<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbMold temperature:<\/strong> 160-200 \u00b0C<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbDrying conditions:<\/strong> 150 \u00b0C for 3 hours<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u30fbFeatures:<\/strong> High fluidity, low shrinkage rate (0.0%), and high molding dimensional accuracy<\/span><\/p>\n

PEEK 450G is not prone to decomposition during molding, causes little wear to the mold, and is suitable for processing complex geometric parts and thin-walled parts. It is an ideal material choice for medical consumables and high-cleanliness parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Iii. Typical Application Fields<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

PEEK 450G is widely used in fields where there are strict requirements for cleanliness, chemical resistance and mechanical strength<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83e\ude7a Medical devices and nursing supplies:<\/strong> surgical instruments, dental accessories, infusion connectors, sterilization components<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Food contact and packaging equipment:<\/strong> valve bodies, guide parts, heat-resistant seals, cleaning nozzles<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2699\ufe0f Electronic and electrical insulators:<\/strong> sensor brackets, high-temperature connectors, insulating gaskets<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd29 Structure and load-bearing components:<\/strong> pump casing, bearing cage, wear-resistant bushing<\/span><\/p>\n

Its V-0 flame retardant rating and repeatable disinfection performance make it a long-term reliable material for medical and food-grade applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vi. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q1: What are the main differences between PEEK 450G and reinforced PEEK?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: PEEK 450G is not reinforced with glass fiber or carbon fiber, thus featuring better fluidity and surface quality, making it suitable for high-cleanliness and thin-walled products. Reinforced PEEK is used for structural components with higher rigidity requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q2: Can PEEK 450G be used for food or medical contact?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Yes, this model complies with relevant standards such as FDA and ISO 10993, and is suitable for medical and food contact applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q3: Can high-temperature steam disinfection be repeatedly carried out?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Yes. PEEK 450G will not experience performance degradation or deformation when repeatedly sterilized in a saturated steam environment at 134\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p>\n
