Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), as a high-performance special engineering plastic, has been widely used in various high-end fields due to its high temperature resistance, high strength, and chemical corrosion resistance. The following are its core application areas and typical cases:
1、 Medical field
Orthopedic implants: used for spinal fusion devices, artificial joints, etc., with excellent biocompatibility and density close to human bones, can reduce the risk of rejection of metal implants.
Skull repair: 3D printed customized PEEK bone plates can perfectly fit the defect area, with good image compatibility and no metal artifacts.
Dental equipment: making denture supports, orthodontic instruments, etc., to meet personalized needs.
2、 Aerospace
Aircraft components: used for seat supports, cabin accessories, etc., with significant weight reduction effects (such as the Airbus A350 single aircraft using over 1000 PEEK components).
Engine parts: Fuel resistant, fatigue resistant, suitable for high-temperature environments such as seals and bearings.
3、 Automotive industry
New energy vehicles: Replace metal manufacturing of battery connectors and motor insulation components, reduce weight by 30% -50%, and withstand high voltage environments.
Traditional cars: used for ABS systems, transmission gears, etc., to improve wear resistance and lifespan.
4、 Electronic and Electrical
Semiconductor equipment: Manufacturing wafer carriers, cleaning equipment components, resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and high temperatures.
5G communication: Its low dielectric loss characteristics make it the preferred material for high-frequency connectors.
5、 Industrial manufacturing
Petrochemical industry: High precision bearings and seals can replace metals or ceramics to improve equipment stability.
3D printing: used for customized prosthetics or complex structural components, with high precision and stable mechanical properties.
The breakthrough application of PEEK materials in medical, aerospace and other fields is driving the development of related industries towards lightweight and high-performance.
