The PEEK material, namely polyetheretherketone, is a high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic. The following are introductions to its characteristics and application areas:

Characteristics

• High temperature resistance: It has a relatively high glass transition temperature and melting point, and can be used continuously at 250°C. The short-term operating temperature can reach up to 300°C.

• Excellent mechanical properties: It features high hardness, high strength and high toughness. It can still maintain good mechanical properties at high temperatures, and has good fatigue resistance and wear resistance.

• Good electrical insulation performance: It can withstand high voltages, and its insulation performance is stable, with little change under different temperature and humidity conditions.

• Strong chemical corrosion resistance: It has good tolerance to most organic solvents, acids, alkalis, etc., and is not easily eroded by chemical substances.

• Good radiation resistance: In a high-radiation environment, its performance changes little, and it can maintain the stability of the material.

Application areas

• Aerospace: It is used to manufacture structural components of aircraft, engine parts, etc.

• Automotive industry: It can be used to manufacture components of automotive engines, transmission gears, etc.

• Electronics and electrical engineering: It is used to make packaging materials for electronic components, connectors, parts of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, etc.

• Medical field: It is used to manufacture artificial joints, spinal fusion devices, parts of medical devices, etc.

• Industrial field: In industries such as petrochemicals, textiles, and food processing, it is used to manufacture pumps, valves, seals, bearings, etc.
