PEEK(Polyetheretherketone) is a colourlessorganic thermoplastic polymer, even though when printed it looks beige-brown (in its Carbon reinforced version, it looks black).Polymersare substances or materials consisting of macromolecules composed of many repeating subunits, called monomers. The molecular stre...
What is PEEK material? Polyether ether ketone resin (Polyether Ether Ketone, PEEK resin for short) is a condensation reaction of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and hydroquinone in the presence of alkali metal carbonate, using diphenyl sulfone as a solvent. A new type of semi-crystalline aromatic ther...
What is the difference between PEEK and PEKK? Both are semi-crystalline thermoplastics, but their degree of crystallinity highly depends on the way they are processed.
At their heart is Beyerdynamic’s new Stellar.45 drive unit. It’s designed and manufactured in-house and uses a layered Peek polymer diaphragm, with a damping material sandwiched in between, and a Neodymium motor system. The aim? To deliver a detailed sound with an easy load which will al...
Choosing the right polymer is essential for getting the right properties for a 3D printed part, especially if your part will be functional. Let’s break down the pure polymers we offer at Protolabs Network. How do we grade FDM 3D printing filament materials? Materials are usually graded alon...
POM is an abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, often referred to as acetal resin in some areas due to its similarity. In addition to gears, bearings, valve seats, insulators, and car trims, this easy-to-form polymer is used in various other applications. PEEK With its excellent heat resistance ...
Is this process sustainable? What is PET? Let’s start by learning whatPETis. This is an abbreviation for the much longer (much less fun) term, polyethylene terephthalate; a polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Clearer terms? PET is the most common type of plastic resin. To ...

ABS, also known as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is a popular thermoplastic polymer. It is well-known for its impact, chemical, water, and heat resistance. It also has outstanding high and low-temperature performance, which makes it perfect for automotive components. ABS also has good electrica...
With over 85,000 commercial plastic material option available and 45 polymer families, there is a wealth of different plastics that can be used for injection moulding. Of these, the polymers can be broadly placed into two groups; thermosets and thermoplastics. The most common types of plastic us...
