Ketron® 1000 PEEK stock shapes are produced from virgin polyetheretherketone resin and offer the highest toughness and impact strength of all Ketron® PEEK grades. Both Ketron® 1000 PEEK natural & black can be sterilized by all conventional sterilization methods (steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation). Additionally, the composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Ketron® 1000 PEEK stock shapes complies with the regulations of the European Union (Directive 2002/72/EC, as amended) and the United States of America (FDA) for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

• High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also at elevated temperatures
• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
• Excellent wear & frictional behaviour
• Very good dimensional stability
• Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
• Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion
