Victrex, which supplies a range of products using polyether ether ketone (PEEK), is marking 40 years since British company ICI, a forerunner of Victrex, discovered the material in 1978.
‘Developing new markets and applications for PEEK, a member of the PAEK polymer family, the company has helped to progress the material, as well as its applications, to the next level, with product forms, such as film, pipe, fibers and components, such as gears,’ the company said in a press release.
Amongst the company’s PEEK products are Victrex AE 250 composites developed for aerospace.
