Experience ultimate durability: Make the future of industry cleaner and stronger with PEEK coatings,
What Is PEEK Coating?
PEEK(Poly Ether Ether Ketone) is a super engineering plastic resin that has various resistances. PEEK coating is created by processing PEEK resin into fine powder and dispersing it in water or special solvents. This dispersion is applied to a substrate and then baked at high temperatures to form a thin film with the excellent properties of PEEK resin. This method allows for uniform coating on parts with complex shapes, achieving high-performance surface treatment with heat resistance, chemical resistance, and wear resistance.
allive® PEEKcoating, exclusively distributed by Global Code, is developed by Zenith, a Korean company specializing in the development and production of special coatings. It is currently being widely adopted in various industries such as food, medical, automotive, aerospace, and electronic components.

Why PEEK Coating?
Mechanical Durability Features
Among the many types of coatings—such as silicone, fluorine, and ceramic—PEEK coating stands out for its exceptional properties:
Abrasion ResistanceChemical ResistanceHeat Resistance
Electrical InsulationNon-StickLow Friction
For example, when you apply PEEK coating to your molds, it can significantly extend the mold's service life and reduce recoating frequency.
This simultaneously boosts production efficiency and cuts costs, while offering various other benefits. Its strong adhesion to stainless steel is particularly revolutionary in food manufacturing plants.
PFAS Regulation
“PFAS,” a collective term for organic fluorinated compounds, is indispensable in consumer goods, industrial products, and manufacturing. However, PFAS does not break down easily in nature, raising concerns about environmental pollution and potential health impacts. As a result, regulations are being tightened, particularly in the EU and the United States.
In light of this, PEEK coating is gaining attention as an eco-friendly alternative. By preparing to transition to PEEK coatings now—anticipating PFAS regulations, which are expected to take effect by 2028—you can mitigate future risks and build a sustainable production system.
Comparison Table
The superiority of PEEK coating becomes clear when compared with other major coating materials.
It outperforms alternatives in abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and electrical insulation. In terms of non-stick properties, it demonstrates high performance close to fluorine coatings, and in many usage environments, its excellent abrasion resistance helps it last longer.
You can see these advantages more concretely in the comparison table below.

Types and Characteristics of PEEK Coating
Our PEEK coating products are designed to deliver optimal functionality for each application. AP105 maximizes adhesion to the substrate as a primer (base coat). Then, you can choose among three types of topcoats—AT135 (eco-friendly, fluorine-free), AT105, or AT125 (PEEK coating with less than 20% fluoropolymer)—and then apply and bake them over the base to achieve high performance.
Features of Each Coating
The following table summarizes the characteristics of the base coat AP105 and the topcoats AT135, AT105, and AT125:
| AP105 | AT135 | AT105 | AT125 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Base | Top | Top | Top |

Examples of PEEK Coating Application
The benefits of PEEK coating have been demonstrated across various industries.
[Bread Loaf Mold]
Innovation in Bread Production. Achieve next-level mass production with long-lasting, easy-release coating.
It solved the frequent recoating problems and release issues. After 18 months of testing, there was no peeling of the coating, and no problems with release of the bread. It also received praise for improving the yield of bread. The factory manager commented, “This coating is an innovation for the bread industry!” About 4,000 units are scheduled for order in 2024.
Applicable to use for roll bread pans and flat pans.
[Food Production Line]
Achieve 4x the Durability—Reinventing the Production Line. An Efficiency Revolution in Food Manufacturing!
We successfully reduced sticking with items like frozen udon, potato salad, and minced chicken. This has significantly shortened cleaning times for equipment and confirmed excellent adhesion to stainless steel. With improved coating durability, the fluorine coating previously used required recoating every two weeks, but PEEK coating has lasted over two months. As a result, users have told us, “Thank you for a product that gives us hope!”
It can be applied to any substrate, including stainless steel or titanium wagons, hoppers, mixers, shooters, and smoke hangers.

No More Abrasion or Corrosion. Take Durability to the Next Level and Reduce Maintenance Frequency!
This end-user previously applied a fluorine coating on the mold surface, but abrasion from glove production and
chemicals used in rubber processing caused coating deterioration and mold corrosion.
With PEEK coating's superior abrasion and chemical resistance (no pinholes), the interval between recoatings can
potentially be extended.
