  8 : Lightweight replacement of metal for fiber optic components

  9 : Good resistance to wear and static electricity;

  10: High mechanical strength requirements

  11: Low smoke and gas emissions.

 12: Transportation machinery fields such as automobiles





The growth of PEEK resin in the European market, especially in the automotive parts market, is the fastest growing. In particular, PEEK plastics are used instead of some traditional high-priced metals as components for engine parts, variable speed transmission parts and steering parts. As the automotive industry adapts to miniaturization, light weight and lower cost requirements, the demand for PEEK resins will continue to grow. In Europe, 44 parts of the model used PEEK plastic instead of traditional metal products.





      2. IT manufacturing field
The semiconductor manufacturing and electronics industries are expected to be another growth point for PEEK resin applications. In the semiconductor industry, in order to achieve high functionality and low cost, silicon wafers are required to be larger in size and more advanced in manufacturing technology. Low dust, low gas emission, low ion elution, and low water absorption are materials for various semiconductor manufacturing processes. The special requirements, this will be the place where PEEK resin will show its talents.
3. Office machinery parts and components
For the separation claws of copiers, special heat-resistant bearings, chains, gears, etc., when PEEK resin is used instead of metal as their material, the parts can be made lighter and fatigue-resistant, and oil-free lubrication can be achieved.




      4, wire covering field
The PEEK coating has good flame retardancy and does not contain any flame retardant. Its flame retardant grade can reach UL94 V-0. PEEK resin also has the advantages of peeling resistance and radiation resistance (109 rad), so it is used in special fields such as military and nuclear energy.

   5, sheet, bar and other fields
PEEK often encounters a small number and variety in the application process in some special fields. At this time, machining with rods, plates and other profiles is very advantageous.


    6, fiber field
PEEK fiber (including monofilament) industrial filter cloth, industrial brush and other products. In the field of composite materials, PEEK fiber is characterized by its thermoplasticity and high temperature resistance. In addition to heat resistance in industrial filter cloths and industrial brushes, it is also attractive for its chemical resistance and wear resistance.
7. Medical analysis equipment field

Because PEEK can withstand repeated autoclaving, it can be used in medical devices to manufacture endoscope parts, dental descalers, and the like. In addition, due to the high strength and low dissolution of PEEK, it has been used in liquid chromatography columns, tubes, accessories, etc. for instrumental analysis. Moreover, because PEEK has a good compatibility with the human body, it has successfully replaced traditional titanium as an artificial bone material.
