Characteristics and advantages of PEEK material
PEEK materials, PEEK rods, and PEEK plates are highly functional materials invented and patented by British Victrex. PEEK rods and PEEK plates have excellent comprehensive functions that other general plastics cannot match among high-functional polymers, and are suitable for various harsh conditions. The excellent environmental function has been successfully and widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronic semiconductor, electromechanical and other industries where demand is more demanding. It is the material of choice for users to develop new products and improve product life and reliability.
PEEK material products have many advantages:
◆ Self-lubricating has a low coefficient of friction, can realize oil-free lubrication, and can work for a long time in oil, water, steam, weak acid and alkali and other media.
◆Easy to process Parts can be processed directly by injection molding process. It can perform post-processing such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, bonding and ultrasonic welding.
◆ Low-smoke and non-toxic The amount of smoke and poisonous gas during combustion is particularly low.
◆ High temperature resistance, American UL certification, long-term use temperature is 260℃, even when the temperature is as high as 300℃, it can still maintain excellent mechanical functions
◆ Wear resistance. PEEK compound and its composite materials have excellent wear resistance in many extremely harsh environments such as high temperature, high load, and strong corrosion.
◆ High strength has better mechanical strength in plastics. It also has high rigidity and surface hardness.
◆ Corrosion resistance, insoluble in common solvents, and good corrosion resistance to various organic and inorganic chemical reagents.
◆ Hydrolysis resistance. When immersed in steam or high-pressure water at a temperature exceeding 250°C, PEEK products can still work continuously for thousands of hours without significant functional degradation.
◆ Electrical function In a wide temperature and frequency range, it can still maintain stable and excellent electrical functions.
