PEEK Rod

With characteristics such as exceptional strength, wear resistance and high temperature operation, it is no wonder how PEEK (PolyEtherEther-Ketone) has earned its use in high performance applications. PEEK can be found in car manufacturing processes, aerospace components and even medical implants due to its unique properties.

Emco offers PEEK rod in 3 varieties: carbon filled, glass filled and unfilled, each with their own dimensions and colors. Don’t see the dimensions you need? No problem – simply give us your cut-to-size dimensions and we’ll cut to your exact requirements. Emco offers a wide variety of value added services to ensure your plastic meets your needs. Request a quote by contacting us with the form below.

Key Properties of PEEK Rods

PEEK rods are valued for their balance of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Here are the qualities that make them stand out:

• Mechanical Strength – PEEK rods maintain high tensile and compressive strength, giving them the ability to handle stress and load without losing stability.
• Thermal Resistance – They can operate continuously at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) while keeping their shape and performance.
• Chemical Resistance – PEEK resists fuels, oils, solvents, and harsh industrial chemicals, making it reliable in environments where other plastics break down.
• Wear and Friction Performance – With a low coefficient of friction, PEEK rods are well-suited for bearings, bushings, and parts exposed to constant movement.
• Electrical Properties – PEEK is also an excellent insulator, making it useful for electrical and electronic components that require stable performance.

Sizes and Availability

Emco Industrial Plastics supplies PEEK rods in a wide range of diameters and lengths. Standard diameters start as small as a quarter inch and extend to several inches, with rods available in standard foot lengths. Cut-to-size services are available, so you get only the exact size you need for your project. Natural beige is the common color, while black rods are available for filled grades such as carbon-filled PEEK. If your application requires custom sizes or shapes, our team can fabricate those as well.

Applications of PEEK Rod

Because of their strength and stability, PEEK rods are widely used across multiple industries:

• Aerospace – insulation parts, structural components, and high-heat applications.
• Automotive – seals, connectors, and parts that must perform under the hood.
• Medical – instruments and biocompatible implants (with specific grades).
• Semiconductor – wafer handling parts, insulators, and precision components.
• Food & Beverage – FDA-approved grades for wear parts in processing equipment.
• Industrial Manufacturing – bushings, gears, wear plates, and pump components.

No matter the industry, a PEEK rod delivers reliable service in places where standard plastics cannot compete.

Machining and Fabrication Services

At Emco, we don’t just provide raw PEEK rods, we also machine and fabricate them into finished parts. Our facility is equipped with CNC machining, routing, milling, and turning capabilities.
