Why are PEEKs so resistant to friction and wear?

Why are PEEKs so resistant, reliable and resilient?

One of the top three reasons Victrex PEEK-type materials, forms and parts are used in a wide range of applications is their resistance to friction and wear in demanding environments.

So why is overcoming friction and wear important? And why are PEEKs so resistant to friction and wear?

With more than 25 years’ experience in the polymer industry, John Grasmeder, Chief Scientist at Victrex, explains how PEEK polymers deliver superior wear resistance in high-friction applications. Read the blog here:
