peek aerospace applications

As a high-performance engineering plastic, PEEK has excellent physical and chemical properties and has been widely used in the aerospace field.

PEEK aerospace applications

With the development of aerospace technology, PEEK has a wide range of applications in the aerospace field due to its high performance requirements such as light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.

PEEK material properties

PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer, with a light density lower than metal, which helps to reduce the weight of aircraft, has mechanical strength comparable to some metals, long-term use temperature up to 260 °C, short-term withstand 300 °C, has good corrosion resistance to most solvents and chemicals, and also performs well in friction environments, and good electrical properties can still maintain stable electrical insulation performance in high-temperature environments.

Aerospace applications

Structural Accessories: The lightweight and high-strength properties of PEEK material make it an ideal choice for manufacturing aircraft interior structural accessories, such as seats, door components, floor supports, etc.,

Engine components: Due to its ability to withstand high levels and chemical corrosion, PEEK can be used to make internal parts of aero engines, such as bearings, seals, and fuel system components.

Electronic Equipment: Aerospace electronics need to work stably in extreme environments, and PEEK's heat resistance and electrical insulation properties make it an ideal material for manufacturing circuit boards, connectors, and other electronic components.

Thermal insulation: The heat resistance of PEEK makes it the preferred choice for aircraft thermal insulation, especially in the high-temperature areas of engine accessories,

Fuel system: PEEK's chemical resistance is suitable for the manufacture of pipes and valves in fuel systems, which need to withstand the chemical attack of the fuel,

Aerospace tools: PEEK is used in the manufacture of tools, jigs, etc., which require high wear resistance and high temperature performance during aerospace repair and manufacturing,

With the development of science and technology, the application scope of PEEK will be further expanded, making more help for the development of the aerospace field.
