Main application fields of PEEK

The fields are: automobile (including aviation) transportation market accounts for about 50% of PEEK resin consumption, semiconductor manufacturing equipment accounts for 20%, compressor valve pieces and other general mechanical parts products account for 20%, and other markets such as medical devices and analytical instruments account for 10%.

1. Transportation machinery fields such as automobiles

The growth of PEEK resin in the European market, especially in the automotive parts market, is the fastest. In particular, the components around the engine, transmission components, steering components, etc. have all chosen PEEK plastics as manufacturing materials instead of some traditional high priced metals. As the automotive industry meets the requirements of miniaturization, lightweight and cost reduction, the demand for PEEK resin will continue to grow. There are 44 parts of a European car model that use PEEK plastic instead of traditional metal products.

2. IT manufacturing

Semiconductor manufacturing and electronic and electrical industry are expected to become another growth point of PEEK resin application. In the semiconductor industry, in order to achieve high functionality and low cost, it is required that the size of the silicon chip is larger and the manufacturing technology is more advanced. Low dust, low gas emission, low ion dissolution and low water absorption are special requirements for various equipment materials in the semiconductor manufacturing process, which will be the place where PEEK resin will show its talents.

3. The field of office machinery parts

For the separation claw, special heat-resistant bearing, chain, gear, etc. of the copier, when PEEK resin is used as their material instead of metal, the parts can be lightweight, fatigue resistant, and oil-free lubrication can be achieved.

4. Wire coating field

PEEK coating has good flame retardancy. Without any flame retardant, its flame retardant level can reach UL94 V-0. PEEK resin also has the advantages of peeling resistance and radiation resistance (109 rad), so it is used for special wires in military industry, nuclear energy and other related fields.

5. Plate, bar and other fields

In the application process of PEEK in some special fields, it is often encountered that the number is small and the variety is large. At this time, it is very beneficial to use bars, plates and other profiles for machining and manufacturing.

6. Fiber field

PEEK fiber (including monofilament) industrial filter cloth, industrial brush and other products. In the field of composite materials, the charm of PEEK fiber lies in its thermoplasticity and high temperature resistance. In addition to heat resistance of industrial filter cloth and industrial brush, its charm lies in its chemical resistance and abrasion resistance.

7. Field of medical analytical devices

Because PEEK can withstand repeated high-pressure sterilization, it can be used in medical devices to manufacture endoscope parts, dental descalers, etc. In addition, due to the high strength and low dissolution of PEEK, it has been used in liquid chromatographic columns, tubes and accessories for instrument analysis. Moreover, due to the good compatibility between PEEK and human body, it has successfully replaced the traditional titanium metal as an artificial bone material. Main application fields of PEEK.
