The chemical designation polyaryletherketone (PAEK) applies to a family of polymers with any number of aryl, ether and ketone building blocks in their structure. Solvay has commercialized a version as AvaSpire PAEK. All references to PAEK throughout our website relate to the AvaSpire grades. Considered to be a hybrid of PEEK (polyetheretherketone), PAEK has an aryl (A) linkage in its molecular structure that gives the polymer high modulus, thermal stability and flame retardant properties.
The properties of PAEK fall between PEEK and other ultra high-performance thermoplastics such as PEI (polyetherimide) and PAI (polyamide imide). For example, PAEK's glass-transition temperature (Tg) of 316°F (158°C) is somewhat higher than that of PEEK, but significantly below the Tg of PAI at 537°F (280°C).
Because it retains stiffness over 300°F (150°C) and has good all-around mechanical properties, PAEK can be alternative to PEEK for certain applications, depending on the stress load and the chemical environment. It can also be an economical option to PEEK for applications that require high quantities of specific parts or stock shape sizes.
