Z-PEEK
Z-PEEK is one of the strongest polymers on the planet. It has strength-to-weight ratio comparable to stainless steel
Z-PEEK is one of the strongest polymers on the planet. It has strength-to-weight ratio comparable to stainless steel and exceptional thermal properties. The material can withstand thermal-cycling in vacuum chambers used for space-qualification tests, radiation, or wear in over 22 million cycles in PEEK-steel gear pairs working at 1600 rpm.
Z-PEEK is compatible with Zortrax Endureal 3D printer and can be printed in single extrusion mode or with breakaway support structures printed in dual extrusion with Z-SUPPORT HT. The material can be used in space industry even for out of cabin applications. Z-PEEK is also employed in aviation, oil industry, and in advanced mechanical engineering applications.
