PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)It is a semi-crystalline, high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic belonging to the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family. Its unique molecular structure endows it with exceptional mechanical strength, chemical stability, and thermal stability.
PEEK was developed by the British company ICI in the 1970s and was initially used in the aerospace industry. After decades of development, it has now become the preferred choice for replacing metals and other high-performance materials, finding extensive applications in demanding industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, semiconductors, medical devices, and food processing.
Compared to traditional sealing materials such as PTFE, nylon, and POM, PEEK demonstrates outstanding stability under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions while offering excellent wear resistance and creep resistance. It is an ideal choice for sealing applications in extreme environments.
High-temperature resistant
Continuous operating temperature up to 260°C, with short-term resistance to 300°C, far exceeding other engineering plastics.
Radiation-resistant
Outstanding radiation resistance, suitable for nuclear and medical radiation environments
Low water absorption rate
Excellent dimensional stability, does not expand or deform due to humidity changes
Chemical resistance
Resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents; only concentrated sulfuric acid can corrode it.
High mechanical strength
Tensile strength reaches 100 MPa, maintaining excellent strength even at elevated temperatures.
Wear-resistant
Low friction coefficient, with wear resistance exceeding that of nylon by more than five times.
