These semi-finished products are made with virgin polyetheretherketone resin and offer the strongest toughness and impact strength amongall KETRON® PEEK grades.

The composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of natural KETRON® PEEK semi-finished products is compliant with the directives of the European Union and of the FDA (USA) as regards food compatibility, as well as with USP standards, class VI, concerning biocompatibility.

These features in combination with excellent sterilization results with steam, dried air, ethylene oxide and gamma radiation make this grade the most frequently used option in applications for the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
