Engineering plastic board PEEK filter plate
PEEK is a kind of heat-resistant, high performance thermoplastic special engineering plastics. It has good mechanical properties and chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and hydrolysis resistance properties etc.; it has a light proportion and self-lubricating properties. Due to very good processing properties, it can be filled with carbon fiber and MoS2 etc. to improve lubrication performance and mechanical strength further.
PEEK engineering plastics have a broad application space related to aviation, machinery, electronics, chemical industry, automobiles, and other high-tech industry, mechanical parts and accessory can be manufactured in stringent requirements, such as gears, bearings, piston rings, supporting ring, sealing ring (letter), valves, and other wear circle. The outstanding performance of PEEK material mainly shows in the following aspects:
1. Heat-resistance
PEEK has a higher glass transition temperature and melting point (334ºC). It is one of the reasons that it can be a reliable application in the requirement of the heat. Its heat load variable-temperature can be 316ºC, continuous use temperature is 260ºC.
2. Mechanical Properties
PEEK is the plastic that strikes a balance between toughness and rigidity. Especially, it has an excellent fatigue resistance against alternating stress that is the most talented of all plastics, and it can be comparable with alloys.
3. Self-lubricating
PEEK has outstanding sliding characteristics in all plastics; it is suitable for stringent requirements for low coefficient of friction and resistance to friction used. Especially, the self-lubricating properties of PEEK will be better if it is modified by carbon fiber and graphite mixed in the proportion of each of them.
4. Chemical Resistance (corrosion resistance)
PEEK has excellent chemical resistance. In ordinary chemicals, it can be dissolved or damaged only by concentrated sulfuric acid; its corrosion resistance is similar to those of steel and nickel.
5. Flame Retardant
PEEK is a very stable polymer. The 1.45mm thick samples can achieve the highest standard of fire retardant without adding any fire retardant.
6. Stripping Resistance
PEEK has good stripping resistance; therefore, it can be made into thin wires or electromagnetic wire coating, and it can be used in harsh conditions.
7. Fatigue Resistance
PEEK has the best fatigue resistance among all resins.
8. Radiation Resistance
PEEK has a very strong γ irradiated resistance, which is stronger than the radiation resistance of polystyrene, which is the best one among generic resin. It can be made into high-performance wiring that can still make good insulation capability when γ irradiation is at doses of 1100Mrad.
9. Hydrolysis Resistance
PEEK and its composites will not be affected chemically by water and high-pressure steam. The products that are made from this material will maintain the outstanding characteristics in continuous use in high temperature and high pressure water.
Application:
Aviation Industries:
PEEK, can be used to produce all kinds of parts in the planes instead of aluminium and other metals. With its excellent flame retardant, the inner parts, made of PEEK, can reduce the damage degree of fire in the planes. PEEK has successfully test in Chinese "Shenzhou" Spaceships series and widely applied in Boeing and Airbus airliner at present.
Electronic industry:
PEEK, has excellent electric performance, which is the perfect isolator, and can still keep the excellent isolator in the execrable working environment of high-temperature, high-pressure and heavy-humidity. So the electronic & electrical industries have been the second application area of PEEK, especially in semiconductor industry, PEEK is often used to produce wafer carriers insulator, linker, printing circuit, high-temperature plug and so on. Recently Japan, Euro and America has used PEEK material to produce the SLSI.
Medical Industries:
Besides, PEEK can be used to produce some exact medical equipments for the OPS and dentistry, which can annihilate bacterium and can be used time after time, the most important application of PEEK, which is used to produce the artificial bone instead of metal. The artificial bone, which is made of PEEK, has the good performance of light-weight, non-toxic and good-chemical-resistance and so on, and can integrate with the organism of human body. So PEEK is also successfully applied in medical industries.
Electricity & nuclear industry:
PEEK, has the excellent performance of high temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance, radiation resistance, which has successfully applied in the wires and frameworks of nuclear power stations.
Machine manufacturing Industries:
PEEK, is used to produce the valve of compressor, piston ring, airproof parts, and all kinds of chemical pump and valve parts. The impeller of whirlpool pump, which is made of PEEK instead of rustless steel, can reduce the degree of abrasion and noise, can delay its aging.
Auto industry
PEEK, with its excellent wearable performance and mechanical properties, can be used to produce the inner covers of engines,auto bearings,flakes ,airproof parts,gear ring of clutch and other parts. Now, a great deal of PEEK has been applied in the driving and braking system and air-condition of auto cars , such as: Audi,Benz,Nissan, Kreisler,GE.
