Peek Properties
Peek is a kind of high-performance engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties, high-temperature resistance, and chemical resistance.
It has a high glass transition temperature (Tg=143°C) and melting point (Tm=334°C), with a high load thermal deformation temperature of up to 316°C, a long-term operating temperature of 250°C, and an instantaneous use temperature of up to 300°C.
Mechanical properties:
Peek has both rigidity and flexibility, especially outstanding fatigue resistance under alternating stress, which can be compared to alloy materials.
Application of Peek Prototyping
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its exceptional mechanical properties and resistance to extreme temperatures. Some common applications of PEEK include:
1.Aerospace: Used in manufacturing aircraft components such as brackets, gears, seals, and structural components due to its lightweight nature and high performance at elevated temperatures.
2. Automotive: it is utilized in various automotive applications including cable insulation, bearings, seals, and components within the engine and transmission systems.
3. Medical Devices: PEEK is used in medical implants, spinal implants, and various surgical instruments due to its biocompatibility, sterilizability, and mechanical properties.
4. Oil and Gas Industry: PEEK is used for parts exposed to high pressure, high temperature, and aggressive chemicals such as seals, gaskets, and connectors in downhole and surface applications.
5. Industrial Applications: PEEK finds usage in a wide range of industrial settings for pump and valve components, electrical insulators, and wear-resistant components due to its excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature performance.
