5000 is unreinforced PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material. Its high mechanical
properties at elevated temperatures, combined with
excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance, make
it the most popular advanced thermoplastic material
available today. The use of unreinforced PEEK material
is increasingly growing across all industries for
metal replacements and other applications. Now, with
its FDA approval, PEEK material can also be used to
fabricate components in food and beverage as well
as medical and pharmaceutical processing equipment.
