PEEK is a high-temperature resistant and high-performance thermoplastic special engineering plastic with good mechanical properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and hydrolysis resistance. It has a light specific gravity and good self-lubricating performance. Its forms include particles, plates, rods, etc. It not only has excellent performance in common, but can also be filled with carbon fiber, glass fiber and other materials to change its shape and properties, further improving lubrication performance and mechanical strength. The category of special plastic materials is wide, including many refined types, and PEEK rod is one with better comprehensive performance. Engineering plastic PEEK rods often have a wide range of applications in high-tech industrial fields such as aviation, machinery, electronics, chemical engineering, and automobiles. They can manufacture high demand mechanical parts such as gears, bearings, piston rings, support rings, sealing rings, valve plates, wear-resistant rings, etc.
1. Application of Mechanical Industry
Due to its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and friction resistance, PEEK is widely used in many domestic and foreign equipment parts, such as bearings, piston rings, reciprocating gas compressor valves, etc.
2. Energy and chemical applications
Excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, high humidity resistance, and radiation resistance. It has been widely used in the energy industry and chemical fields such as nuclear power plants.
3. Application of electronic information industry
This is the second largest application area of PEEK worldwide, with a usage of about 25%. Especially in the transportation of ultrapure water, PEEK made pipes, valves, pumps, etc. can prevent ultrapure water from being contaminated and have been widely used abroad.
4. Aerospace industry applications
PEEK has been widely used in aerospace products abroad since the 1990s due to its superior comprehensive performance, and has also been successfully tested in China's J-8-1I aircraft and Shenzhou spacecraft products.
5. Application in the automotive industry
Energy saving, weight reduction, and low noise have always been important indicators required for the development of automobiles. Polyether ether ketone has the characteristics of light weight, high mechanical strength, heat resistance, and self-lubricating, which perfectly meet the needs of the automotive industry.
6. Applications in the field of healthcare
Polyether ether ketone is not only used in the production of precision medical devices, but also as a substitute for metals in the production of artificial bones, with advantages such as light weight, non toxicity, and strong corrosion resistance. In addition, it can also organically combine with the human body and is a material that is close to human bones.
