PEEK
PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is one of the highest-performing engineering thermoplastics available, engineered to hold its mechanical properties where conventional plastics, and even some metals, begin to fail. At McNeall Plastics we supply PEEK in rod, plate and finished component form to businesses across Australia working in aerospace, oil & gas, food processing and semiconductor manufacturing, where continuous high operating temperatures, exposure to steam, and demanding wear conditions rule out lower-grade materials.

Because PEEK machines cleanly and holds tight tolerances, it's a popular substitute for metal components where weight reduction, corrosion resistance or electrical insulation are required without sacrificing strength. Our team can advise on the right PEEK grade, whether that's unfilled, glass filled, carbon filled or PTFE filled, for your specific load, temperature and chemical exposure requirements, and can supply finished components as well as raw stock. With 50 years of experience supplying engineering plastics across NSW and QLD, we help engineers avoid costly material failures by matching the grade to the application from the outset.
