PEEK is partially crystalline, and has a [[glass transition temperature]] of 143 °C and a melting temperature of 334 °C. The material is resistant to both organic and aqueous environments, and is used in bearings, piston parts, pumps, compressor plate valves, and cable insulation applications.

PEEK is a [[thermoplastic]] with extrordinaryextraordinary mechanical properties. The Young's Modulus is 3.6 GPa and its tensile strength 170 MPa.

PEEK is also considered an advanced biomaterial used in medical implants.
