1.  VICTREX™ PEEK polymers are advanced high-performance materials obtained through step-growth polymerization via the dialkylation of bisphenolate salts.

2.  PEEK is a semicrystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties that are retained to high temperatures.

3.  The specific PEEK processing conditions utilized during molding directly influence the polymer's crystallinity, allowing engineers to fine-tune final mechanical properties and part performance.

4.  Most standard reciprocating screw injection molding machines are capable of processing unfilled and filled VICTREX™ PEEK grades.

5.  Complex, intricate, and high-performance plastic components can be mass-produced without annealing or conventional machining.

6.  VICTREX™ PEEK thermoplastics are highly adaptable to standard extrusion processes and equipment, including PEEK wire coating, profile extrusion, film, pipe, sheet, and monofilament production.

7.  Both unfilled and filled grades are readily extruded using conventional, high-efficiency melt processing technology.

8.  Compression molded parts are generally more crystalline, have a higher modulus and tensile strength and are harder with a lower ductility.

9.  Glass and carbon fibers may be combined with VICTREX™ PEEK for compression molding
