PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance special engineering plastic that belongs to the top material of the "plastic pyramid". Unlike ordinary plastics, its performance is close to that of metals: with a melting point of 343 ° C, it can withstand high temperatures of 260 ° C for a long time (up to 300 ° C in the short term)
It can also resist strong acid and alkali corrosion.
The specific strength of PEEK material is eight times that of aluminum alloy, and its density is one-third that of aluminum alloy. The higher the specific strength, the lighter the material used to achieve the corresponding strength. The excellent specific strength of PEEK material enables it to meet strength requirements with a smaller cross-section as much as possible, while significantly reducing the self weight of the structure itself.
PEEK material has the characteristics of wear resistance, flame retardancy, and insulation, and is commonly used in extreme environments such as human bone implants (with excellent biocompatibility), aircraft hydraulic parts (replacing metal for weight reduction), and semiconductor equipment (with ultra-high cleanliness).
Although more expensive than ordinary plastics, it has a long working life and stable performance in various complex environments, providing material support for technological innovation in various industries and reducing maintenance costs.
