PEEK · Polyetheretherketone · Fengmei Pimeike

The high-performance plastic at the top of the pyramid

One of the thermoplastic engineering plastics with the highest heat resistance and mechanical strength, combining chemical resistance, wear resistance with self-lubrication and biocompatibility. It is widely used to replace metal, cut weight and survive harsh operating conditions. Yilong distributes the resin of Fengmei Pimeike (Xiangshan base, Ningbo), a domestic producer of virgin PEEK whose PEEK technology is licensed from Jilin University — with stable supply and small-batch support for project development.

Key Properties

Grades & Series

Product series

Selection follows the operating conditions: unfilled, glass-fibre reinforced, carbon-fibre reinforced, wear-resistant and medical grades each have their own focus. Specific grades and property data are available from our sales team.

Base grades

FM-PK 30G / 50G / 70G: unfilled virgin resin with balanced overall properties, for injection moulding, extrusion and compression moulding.

Glass-fibre reinforced GF

FM-PK 50GL30: 30% glass fibre, raising tensile and flexural strength and giving better dimensional stability.

Carbon-fibre reinforced CF

CF/PEEK 30%: a large gain in strength and modulus, with better creep resistance and improved thermal conductivity.

High wear resistance

FM-PK W100: wear-modified, low friction and self-lubricating, for sliding and sealing parts.

Medical grades

Biocompatible and radiolucent, for orthopaedic implants and medical devices.

Processing & Support

From grade selection to volume production

Injection moulding

Runs on standard reciprocating-screw machines and is economical for complex parts in volume.

Extrusion and profiles

Rod, tube, sheet, film and monofilament, all suitable for later machining.

Grade selection and trials

We match the grade to your operating conditions (temperature, media, load, volume) and support small trial quantities.

Project support

From prototype to volume production, our technical team stays involved and supply stays stable.

Data sheets, test reports and compliance documents are supplied with shipments; we also support grade selection, small trial quantities and project-level supply. If you need help selecting PEEK, PPA or POM, just send us your operating conditions.
