Can you use keenserts in PEEK material?

Question:

My inquiry was really to help out our designers in Italy, we are looking for a threadlocking insert that is well suited to use in unfilled PEEK. Currently we are using a different type which is really only intended for use in Aluminium and we have had some issues with them coming loose during removal of the bolts.

For the moment we are looking at the possibility of using Keenserts for M3 and M4 bolts.

Do you have experience of using these components in peek?

Answer:

We have no experience but we see no real reasons that it should not work. If requested we can send you 2-3 samples each for installation tests.
