Ketron® PEEK 1000


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 sterilised by all conventional sterilisation methods [steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation]. Additionally, Ketron 1000 PEEK stock shapes are also available in our Food Grade programme, which means that they can be supplied with a declaration of compliance, confirming they comply with the requirements mentioned in the European Regulations (EC) No 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011. The composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Ketron® 1000 PEEK stock shapes also complies with the regulations of the United States of America [FDA] for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
