PEEK HexagonHead Screws

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) resin is a unique engineering plastic with excellent performance; compared with other special engineering plastics, have many significant advantages: high-temperature resistance, excellent mechanical properties, good self-lubrication, chemical corrosion resistance, flame retardant, peel resistance, irradiation resistance, insulating stability, hydrolysis resistance and ease of processing, etc., in the aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electrical and electronic, medical and food processing and other fields of application. PEEK's main application areas are automotive and other (including aviation) transportation markets, which account for about 50% of the consumption of PEEK resin, semiconductor manufacturing equipment accounting for 20% of the compressor valves, and other general mechanical parts and components products account for 20% of the medical equipment and analytical instruments and other markets accounted for 10%.

1. Automotive and other transportation machinery field: PEEK resin growth in the European market, especially in the automotive parts products market, is growing most rapidly, especially around the engine parts, transmission components, steering parts, etc. I have chosen PEEK plastic as a manufacturing material instead of traditional high-priced metal. With the automotive industry adapting to miniaturization, lightweight, and cost-reduction requirements, PEEK resin demand will continue to grow. A European model has 44 parts using PEEK plastic instead of traditional metal products.

2. IT manufacturing sector: The semiconductor and electrical and electronic industries are expected to become another growth point in applying PEEK resin. In the semiconductor industry, to achieve high functionality at low cost, the requirements of the wafer size are more significant, more advanced manufacturing technology, low dust, low gas emission, low ionic dissolution, and low water absorption a semiconductor manufacturing process in a variety of equipment materials, special requirements, which will be the place where PEEK resin to show their skills.

3. Office machinery parts field: For the copier's separation claw, special heat-resistant bearings, chains, gears, etc., made with PEEK resin instead of metal, can make parts lightweight, fatigue-resistant, and without oil lubrication.

4. Wire cladding field: The PEEK cladding layer is good at flame retardant; without adding any flame retardant, its flame retardant level can be up to UL94 V-0. PEEK resin also has the advantages of peel resistance, irradiation resistance (109 rads), and so on, and it is therefore used in the military, nuclear energy, and other related areas of special wires.

5. Plates, rods, and other fields: PEEK is very favorable in some particular application areas, often encountered in small quantities and various phenomena, this time with rods, plates, and other profiles for machining and manufacturing.

6. Fiber field: PEEK fiber (including monofilament) industrial filter cloth, brush, and other products. In composite materials, the charm of PEEK fiber is its thermoplastic and high-temperature resistance. In addition to heat resistance in industrial filter cloths and industrial brushes, the appeal of PEEK fiber lies in its chemical and abrasion resistance.

7. Medical analysis equipment field: Because PEEK can withstand repeated autoclaving, it can manufacture endoscopic parts, dental descalers, etc., in medical equipment. In addition, due to PEEK's high strength and low solubility, it has been used in liquid chromatography columns, tubes, and accessories for instrumental analysis. Moreover, due to its excellent compatibility with the human body, PEEK has successfully replaced traditional titanium as an artificial bone material.
