Materials We Need

PEEK Machining Shavings

We need shavings scrap of the following types :

• Unfilled natural PEEK shavings
• Glass-fiber reinforced natural PEEK shavings

If you have other types of shavings, please contact us with your details.

Important Guidelines:

• Dry-cut preferred. Water-based cutting fluid residue is OK, but shavings should not be dripping wet.
• Both lathe-cut and mill-cut types are needed.
• Occasional trash or bits of non-PEEK shavings contamination are OK.
• Packed in clear bags, with each bag having only one type of material.
• If shavings will require LTL shipping for delivery to PolyClean, bags should be baled in a clean baling machine.

By following these guidelines, we will be able to offer you maximum value for your PEEK shavings scrap.

• Scrap should be collected in drums or gaylord boxes designated by material grade so that, as much as possible, only one type of material is in each container.
• We strongly prefer to purchase ungranulated scrap so that we can have complete control over the quality of regrind products we are selling.
