Celebrating 30 Years of VICTREX® PEEK™ Polymer Innovation
Since VICTREX PEEK polymer’s inception, Victrex and its customers have helped revolutionize the plastics market with this high-temperature, high-performance polyketone.
The last 30 years have provided a thrilling journey of innovation and progress for anyone involved in high performance materials. Victrex has emerged as the only business in the world focused exclusively on developing polyketone-based products and services, and we are committed to solving customer challenges using the highest quality materials available.
VICTREX PEEK Polymer Beginnings
Victrex, headquartered in the UK, began with the original invention, patent, and branding of VICTREX PEEK polymer. Since then we have been able to further expand our product offering with the development of unique polymers, proprietary blends, and high performance compounds.
As a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline polymer, VICTREX PEEK polymer is known for its unique combination of properties including excellent high temperature performance, chemical and wear resistance, and tribological properties.
Since 1978, the use of VICTREX PEEK polymer quickly spread around the world, first into Western Europe and the United States to address customers’ needs in the automotive and transportation sector. As businesses became global, Victrex successfully moved into Japan and then during the last decade, has delivered this unique polymer into China. Today, Victrex continues expansion into the high growth markets such as India, Russia and Brazil, and VICTREX PEEK polymer is behind many of today’s innovations in markets ranging from aerospace, energy, electronics, and automotive to food processing, medical, semiconductors, textiles and more.
