PEEK plastic
poly-ether-ether-ketone (poly-ether-ether-ketone, PEEK) is a semi-crystalline polymer aromatic material. It has the physical and chemical characteristics of stable chemical properties at high temperatures and excellent friction properties. It also has good biocompatibility, Advantages include mechanical properties, mechanical properties, X-ray transmittance and non-cytotoxicity.
PEEK plastic can be used as a high-temperature resistant structural material and electrical insulation material, and can be combined with glass fiber or carbon fiber to prepare reinforced materials. This material has numerous applications in aerospace, medical devices (as artificial bone to repair bone defects), and industry.
In addition, PEEK coating is a new generation of green and environmentally friendly polymer coating with the advantages of high temperature resistance, high hardness, scratch resistance and long life. Suitable for spray coating on steel, cast metal and ceramic surfaces. Spraying PEEK on oil pipelines can greatly improve the pipeline’s wear resistance, high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, reduce wear on the inner wall of the pipeline, no leakage points, not easy to fall off, long service life, and reduce usage costs. improvement. PEEK spraying is also widely used in natural gas, medicine, transportation, chemical barrels, tanks, reactors, stirring rods, alkali container heat exchangers, electroplating racks, acid-resistant smoke exhaust pipes and other high-temperature and corrosion-resistant equipment and components.

In recent years, the demand for PEEK plastic has been increasing, and its application scope has become more and more extensive. Especially in the field of high-tech industries, it plays an extremely important role and is irreplaceable.
In the foreseeable future, emerging markets such as China, India and Southeast Asia will become a strong driving force for the growth of global PEEK demand. However, the current domestic industrial environment is limited by factors such as equipment, technology and market. There are problems such as insufficient development investment and low industrialization. There is still a gap with foreign-funded enterprises.
This is mainly reflected in the fact that the purity and color indicators need to be further improved, and the variety and brand It needs to be continuously improved and enriched, the production of multi-variety special materials needs to be further strengthened, the downstream profile processing supporting facilities and the development and production efficiency of different profiles need to be continuously improved, as well as problems such as the use of recycled materials and price involution.
