PEEK

PEEK (Polyether ether Ketone) polymers are exceptionally strong, flame retardant, and can be easily fabricated to tight tolerances. These properties make it useful for applications such as aerospace, automotive and electronic components. However electroplating this material has proved very difficult due to poor adhesion and low yield rates. Until now......

MacuPlex SA enables metallization of PEEK with consitent results and high adhesion strength. The system avoids the use of chromic / sulphuric acid etching to achieve the surface funcionlization required. It can be used for both carbon and glass filled variations. Typically adhesion strength is increased by some 4X on materials when compared to traditional wet methods.
