Engineering grade thermoplastic polymer Polyether Ether-Ketone (PEEK) has properties that make it particularly well suited for various applications involving medical tubing. A highly pure, semi-crystalline organic polymer with outstanding thermal stability at high temperatures is PEEK.
Due to its exceptional resistance to various chemicals and sea water, PEEK and its composites are used to fabricate biomedical components, subsea equipment, and valve components. Additionally, high speed rotors, pistons, gears, O-rings, piston rings, and valve plates are made of PEEK. PEEK has a low elastic modulus (3-4 GPa), good stability, low density, and is insoluble.
Polyetheretherketone’s chemical composition. When opposed to Ti, PEEK has several clinical advantages as a material for dental implants. It firstly results in reduced allergic and hypersensitivity symptoms.
A colourless organic thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is employed in engineering applications. PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic that retains its high-temperature mechanical and chemical resistant qualities quite well.
The global medical grade Composite PEEK market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Launch of Implant-Grade 3D Printable PEEK Filament by Evonik for Medical Uses. One of the top producers of specialty chemicals in the world, Evonik, recently unveiled an implant-grade PEEK filament designed for 3D printing in the medical industry.
Through the use of this medical filament, it is establishing new benchmarks for the design and production of specialised plastic implants, which can now be produced utilising additive manufacturing techniques that adhere to ASTM F2026 (the standard specification for PEEK polymers for surgical implant applications).
This PEEK filament is an implant-grade material based on VESTAKEEP i4 G, a very viscous, high-performance polymer from Evonik, and is marketed under the trade name VESTAKEEP i4 3DF. The product’s biocompatibility, biostability, x-ray transparency, and ease of handling will astonish customers. The filament is created in a cleanroom and then put through rigorous quality control procedures specific to medicinal materials.
