PEEK is one of the most high-performance engineering thermoplastics and is used when conventional engineering plastics reach their limits.
Natural-coloured PEEK rods combine:
- high temperature resistance
- high mechanical strength
- high rigidity
- very good chemical resistance
- low water absorption
- good dimensional stability
- very good machinability
- good electrical insulation properties
As a result, PEEK rod material is particularly suitable for precise, highly loaded technical functional parts.

PEEK rod 1000 mm
The product page offers natural-coloured PEEK rods with a length of approx. 1,000 mm.
This starting format is suitable for manufacturing various individual parts or small series.
Typical components are:
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- guides
- plain bearings
- sealing bodies
- spacers
- insulating parts
- pump components
- valve components
- precision turned parts
If you only need a specific length, the rod material can be cut to size according to your component geometry.
Select PEEK rod by diameter
The diameter is one of the most important selection criteria for PEEK rod material.
Various diameters are available to choose from on the product page. You can see the sizes actually available directly in the variant selection.
When choosing the starting diameter, you should take into account:
- the desired finished diameter
- the necessary machining allowance
- the component geometry
- the mechanical load
- the required wall thickness
- the planned machining
- the required tolerances
Particularly with highly precise turned parts, sufficient machining allowance should be provided for the final finishing operation.
PEEK rod cut to size
You do not need a full rod length?
Then a PEEK rod cut piece to size may be useful.
The starting material is prepared to the required length and can then be further processed into the desired component.
Suitable machining processes include:
- sawing
- turning
- milling
- drilling
- threading
- CNC machining
A suitable cut piece reduces unnecessary material usage and can lower the subsequent machining effort.
Properties of PEEK natural
PEEK stands for polyetheretherketone and belongs to the group of high-performance plastics.
Natural-coloured PEEK is characterised in particular by:
- high thermal load capacity
- high strength
- high rigidity
- very good chemical resistance
- low moisture absorption
- good dimensional accuracy
- good wear properties
- good sliding properties
- good electrical insulation
- very good machinability by cutting
This combination of properties makes PEEK interesting for applications in which several high requirements must be met at the same time.
PEEK rods for high temperatures
An important reason for using PEEK is its high temperature resistance.
For PEEK natural, Martan states a continuous service temperature of up to about 250 °C. As a result, the material can be interesting for applications in which POM-C, PE or PA are no longer suitable due to higher temperatures.
However, the actual suitability must always be assessed on the basis of the specific combination of:
- temperature
- duration of load
- mechanical stress
- environment
- media used
be checked.
Chemical-resistant PEEK rods
PEEK has very good resistance to numerous chemical media.
As a result, the material is used, among other things, for technical components in demanding plant systems.
Typical components are, for example:
- pump components
- valve parts
- sealing elements
- guides
- bearing parts
- insulating components
For specific media, chemical resistance should always be checked taking into account concentration and service temperature.
What are PEEK rods used for?
PEEK rods natural are suitable as starting material for highly stressed turned and milled parts.
Typical areas of application are:
- mechanical engineering
- plant engineering
- pump technology
- valve technology
- electrical engineering
- semiconductor technology
- aerospace engineering
- demanding precision engineering
Typical components are:
- bushes
- plain bearings
- guides
- rollers
- gears
- sealing bodies
- valve components
- pump components
- insulating parts
- precision turned parts
Turning PEEK rod
PEEK can be machined very well by cutting with suitable tools.
Turning is particularly suitable for rotationally symmetrical components.
For example, the following can be produced:
- bushes
- rings
- rollers
- bolts
- sleeves
- bearing parts
- sealing bodies
For precise results, tool geometry, cutting speed, feed, heat input and clamping conditions should be matched to PEEK.
Milling and drilling PEEK rod
In addition to turning, PEEK can also be milled and drilled.
This allows additional geometries such as:
- cross holes
- threads
- grooves
- surfaces
- recesses
- mounting holes
to be introduced into the component.
For more complex components, CNC machining can be used.
PEEK natural or black?
Martan stocks PEEK rods in both natural and black.
PEEK natural is suitable as a classic unfilled or natural-coloured version for numerous technical applications.
PEEK black offers a dark material colour and can be useful when visual differentiation or a black component version is required.
You can find suitable rod material under PEEK rods black.
PEEK rod or PEEK sheet?
The right semi-finished product form depends on the subsequent component geometry.
PEEK rods are particularly suitable for:
- turned parts
- bushes
- rollers
- rings
- bolts
- sleeves
PEEK sheets are particularly suitable for:
- flat components
- holders
- insulating sheets
- milled components
- technical construction parts
You can find suitable flat material under PEEK sheets.
PEEK or POM-C rod?
PEEK and POM-C are both well suited for precise technical components, but differ significantly in their performance profile.
PEEK is particularly suitable for:
- high temperatures
- high chemical exposure
- high mechanical requirements
- demanding operating conditions
POM-C is particularly suitable for:
- very good machinability
- high dimensional accuracy
- good rigidity
- classic mechanical engineering applications
If the high thermal and chemical properties of PEEK are not required, POM-C can be a more economical material solution.
You can find suitable variants under POM-C rods.
PEEK or PTFE rod?
PEEK and PTFE can both be used for chemically and thermally demanding applications, but have different mechanical properties.
PEEK offers in particular:
- higher rigidity
- higher mechanical strength
- better dimensional stability
- good machinability
PTFE offers in particular:
- very low friction
- excellent sliding properties
- very high chemical resistance
- very low adhesion tendency
For sliding, sealing or chemical applications, PTFE rod material may therefore also be of interest, depending on the load profile.
