Important Guidelines
Important Guidelines:
To ensure the highest quality and value for your PEEK shavings scrap, please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing materials for shipment to Drew Polymers:
- Cutting Process: Dry-cut is preferred to maintain the integrity of the shavings. However, residues from water-based cutting fluids are acceptable, provided the shavings are not excessively wet.
- Type of Cuts: We accept both lathe-cut and mill-cut shavings, catering to a variety of manufacturing processes.
- Contamination: Occasional inclusion of non-PEEK materials or other debris in the shavings is permissible, though minimal contamination is preferred.
- Packaging: Shavings should be packed in clear bags, with each bag containing only one type of material to facilitate quality control and processing.
- Shipping Preparation: If the shavings require Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping for delivery, please ensure the bags are baled using a clean baling machine to maintain material cleanliness and safety during transit.
