PEEK MOLDING
Performance Plastics is one of the world's leaders for PEEK injection molding. We have molded PEEK since the material was first introduced in the early 1980's and since that time have done considerable research and development to advance PEEK molding as an area of special expertise in the corporation.
We have proven success with PEEK molding in multi-cavity hot runner applications, including highly filled carbon, glass and PTFE grades. Incorporating hot runner systems can significantly reduce the cost of your component by eliminating the runner system associated with conventional molding techniques. It also enhances performance in tight tolerance applications. Our success with hot runner PEEK molding comes from expertise in three critical areas: Hot runner system component design, specially formulated tool steels, and sophisticated processing techniques.
Another important area of Performance Plastics' expertise is in material selection for friction and wear applications. With over 20 years of experience in PEEK molding, Performance Plastics can assist you in finding and testing the right PEEK™ grade for your application.
Wear Applications with PEEK take advantage of it's superior properties at elevated temperatures. Grades with carbon fiber, PTFE and other additives provide exceptional wear performance.
Performance Plastics' unique knowledge and processign capabilities can offer you a decided competitive advantage in today's global marketplace. Our experience with PEEK molding has allowed us to work with many of the world's top companies to develop cost-effective solutions for high temperature, chemical resistance, and metal replacement applications such as:
Compressors – poppets, seals, valve plates
Medical – surgical devices
Metal Replacement – gears, air nozzles
Chemical Resistance – fluid dispensing components
With our world class in-house engineering, design, tooling and processing capabilities, Performance Plastics can work with you from the design concept stage all the way through to high volume production. By incorporating tooling and manufacturing improvements throughout the development cycle, Performance Plastics can help you optimize your component for production, bringing real value to your organization.
This compressed air nozzle was developed in PEEK to provide chemical resistance in harsh production environments.
Valve Component in PEEK demonstrates Performance Plastics' capability in molding sophisticated geometries in high performance resins.

Hot Runner Molding
COMPRESSOR APPLICATIONS
 
To meet the sealing requirements, the profile on this PEEK poppet is held to 0.0003". It also has to withstand 10 million cycles
Low Pressure sealing performance is critical to the functionality of this PEEK poppet. This componet replaced 2 metal parts and significantly reduced re-work offering tremendous cost savings.
This scroll compressor seal is molded in a specially designed tool to meet the demanding flatness and involute profile tolerances required in this application.
 PEEK Valve Plates are a special capability at Performance Plastics. We have production experience with many part configurations as well as PEEK material grades for valve plate applications
METAL to PLASTIC CONVERSION
This distributor gear for NASCAR and other racing engines was converted to PEEK. The improved wear performance prevents deterioration during the race, resulting in a gear that is 80% lighter and delivers more horsepower than the conventional metal gear.
This surgical head restraint system was converted from titanium to PEEK. The plastic allows for accurate MRI imaging without interference from a metal assembly.
