The main features of PEEK

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has corrosion resistance, anti-aging; anti-solubility; high temperature resistance, high frequency, high voltage electrical properties; both toughness and rigidity; can be used for parts of various sizes; radiation resistance, wear resistance, resistance Chemicals; resistance to hydrolysis, can still maintain excellent characteristics under high temperature and high pressure; lightweight replacement of metal as optical fiber components; good wear resistance, anti-static electrical insulation properties; high mechanical strength; low smoke and toxic gas emissions. PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer material with a melting point of 334°C, a softening point of 168°C, and a tensile strength of 132-148 MPa.

PEEK application areas

(1) Transportation machinery fields such as automobiles

The growth of PEEK in the European market is especially fast in the auto parts market, especially the parts around the engine, transmission parts, steering parts, etc.

(2) IT manufacturing

In the semiconductor industry, the special requirements for various equipment materials in the semiconductor manufacturing process will be the place where PEEK resin displays its talents.

(3) The field of office machinery accessories

For the separation claws, special heat-resistant bearings, chains, gears, etc. of the copier, when PEEK resin is used as the material instead of metal, the parts can be lightweight, fatigue-resistant, and oil-free.

(4) Wire coating area

PEEK coating has good flame retardancy, does not contain any flame retardants, and its flame retardant grade can reach UL94 V-0. It can be used for special wires in military industry, nuclear energy and other related fields.

(5) Sheets, bars and other fields

In the application process of PEEK in some special fields, the quantity is often small and the changes are large. At this time, it is very advantageous to use rods, plates and other profiles for mechanical processing and manufacturing.

(6) Fiber field

PEEK fiber (including monofilament) industrial filter cloth, industrial brush and other products.

(7) Field of medical analysis equipment

Because PEEK can withstand repeated autoclaving, it can be used to manufacture endoscope parts and dental cleaning agents in medical equipment.
