PEEK material, whose Chinese name is polyetheretherketone, is a high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic. The following is a detailed introduction to it:
PEEK has a unique molecular structure, which is formed by the alternate connection of benzene rings, ether bonds, and ketone bonds. This structure endows it with a series of excellent properties.
It has outstanding high-temperature resistance and can be used continuously at a high temperature of 250℃. In the short term, it can even withstand temperatures above 300℃.
It has high mechanical strength, good rigidity and toughness. Its mechanical properties such as tensile strength and flexural strength are outstanding among engineering plastics.
It has good wear resistance and self-lubrication. With a low friction coefficient, it can work under conditions of no lubrication or little oil lubrication, reducing maintenance costs and equipment wear.
It has strong chemical stability and excellent resistance to most chemicals. It can maintain stable performance in harsh environments such as strong acids and alkalis.
It has good electrical insulation performance, with a high insulation resistance, a low dielectric constant, and a low dielectric loss factor, and is widely used in the field of electronics and electrical engineering.

PEEK material can be processed through various molding processes such as injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding, and can be made into complex-shaped parts. However, due to its high melting point, the processing temperature is usually between 360℃ and 400℃, which requires high processing equipment and techniques.
Due to its characteristics of high-temperature resistance, high strength, and light weight, it is widely used in aircraft engine components, aerospace electronic equipment casings, wing structural components, etc.
It can be used to manufacture components of automobile engines, transmission gears, bearing cages, etc. It helps to improve the performance and reliability of automobiles. At the same time, it can reduce the weight of the vehicle body and lower fuel consumption.

It is often used to manufacture electronic connectors, integrated circuit packaging, insulation layers of wires and cables, etc. Its good electrical insulation performance and high-temperature resistance can meet the requirements of electronic devices for high-performance materials.
PEEK material has good biocompatibility and will not cause immune reactions in the human body. Its strength is similar to that of human bones. Therefore, it is used to manufacture artificial joints, spinal implants, dental restoration materials, etc.
With the continuous progress of science and technology and the increasing demand for high-performance materials, the application fields of PEEK material will continue to expand. Driven by emerging industries such as new energy, 5G communication, and high-end equipment manufacturing, PEEK material is expected to replace traditional materials in more fields, and its market prospects are broad. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of production technology and the gradual reduction of costs, the cost-effectiveness of PEEK material will continue to increase, further promoting its market promotion and application.
