General Info
VICTREX PEEK 450G™ polymer is regarded as one of the highest-performing engineering thermoplastics in the world. It has more than 40 years of proven performance in demanding environments, replacing metal and other polymers.
VICTREX PEEK 450G™ is a high-performance thermoplastic material, unreinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), semi-crystalline, granules for injection moulding and extrusion, standard flow, FDA food contact compliant, colour natural/beige. This polymer offers high strength and stiffness, and high ductility at high termperatures. It is chemically resistant to aggressive environments and suitable for medical and food contact applications sterilization.
PEEK vs 450G™ PEEK: Are they the Same?
PEEK is a general term, an abbreviation, for the polayaryletherketone (PAEK) polymer [whose full name is poly(oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenylenecarbonyl-1,4-phenylene) ] and whose molecular backbone structure is defined by the repeat unit below. VICTREX PEEK 450G™ is a specific grade of PEEK polymer, a unique grade which is only made by Victrex and which has a specific range of molecular weight. The molecular weight defines the bulk properties of the PEEK 450G polymer, including its stiffness, strength, toughness, crystallinity and melt processing behavior.

Resin Trade Names
Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
