Optimize your production with expert support for processing high‑performance VESTAKEEP® PEEK. Our Application Technology team helps you achieve stable processes, high part quality, and maximum performance across injection molding, extrusion, and powder applications.
PEEK Processing Expertise That Improves Your Results
We provide technical guidance based on real processing data and decades of polymer know‑how. This includes:
- Material and design consulting Recommendations for grade selection, wall thickness, gating, and flow behavior. VESTAKEEP® can reach flow‑distance/wall‑thickness ratios up to 200:1, enabling complex geometries.
- Injection molding optimization Support with melt temperatures, tool temperatures, venting, and pressure settings. Injection pressures of 100–200 MPa require precise machine configuration.
- Extrusion and downstream processing Guidance on temperature profiles, crystallization control, and cooling. Low cooling speeds increase crystallinity and improve mechanical performance.
- Processing of VESTAKEEP® PEEK powders Support for drying, handling, and thermal management to ensure consistent coating and composite quality.
Reliable Support for High Performance Applications
We help you:
- Set correct melt and mold temperatures for high crystallinity
- Avoid defects through proper drying, venting, and pressure control
- Implement efficient cleaning and material changeover procedures
- Scale from prototype to serial production with reproducible parameters
PEEK should be dried at 160 °C for 4 hours to ensure high‑quality parts - a key step we integrate into process recommendations.
