Peek Sheet 600x1000mm

Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance engineering plastic renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. This semi-crystalline thermoplastic maintains its integrity under demanding conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Key Properties of PEEK:

•Mechanical Strength: PEEK exhibits a tensile strength ranging from 90 to 100 MPa, providing robust performance in high-stress environments. 

•Thermal Stability: With a melting point of approximately 343°C and continuous use capability up to 260°C, PEEK retains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. 

•Chemical Resistance: PEEK is highly resistant to a variety of chemicals, including hydrocarbons, acids, and bases, making it ideal for harsh chemical environments. 

•Wear and Abrasion Resistance: The material’s inherent toughness and low friction coefficient contribute to its excellent wear resistance, suitable for applications involving repeated mechanical contact. 

•Hydrolysis Resistance: PEEK withstands prolonged exposure to steam, water, and seawater without significant degradation, making it suitable for applications requiring sterilization. 

Common Applications of PEEK:

•Aerospace: Components such as brackets, clamps, and insulators benefit from PEEK’s lightweight nature and high strength-to-weight ratio.

•Automotive: Used in engine components, transmission parts, and under-the-hood applications due to its thermal and chemical stability.

•Medical: Employed in surgical instruments and implants, PEEK’s biocompatibility and sterilization resistance are advantageous.

•Electronics: Ideal for insulating components and connectors, PEEK’s electrical insulating properties and thermal stability are beneficial.

•Oil and Gas: Utilized in seals, bearings, and compressor components, PEEK’s resistance to aggressive chemicals
