As an advanced engineering plastic, PEEK plays an important role in weight reduction, effective extension of component service life, and optimization of component utilization due to its good machinability, flame retardancy, non-toxicity, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is in the main chain structure contains a ketone bond and two ether bond repeating unit composed of polymers, is a special polymer materials. With high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other physical and chemical properties, is a class of semi-crystalline polymer materials, can be used as high-temperature-resistant structural materials and electrical insulation materials, and can be composite with glass fibers or carbon fibers to prepare reinforcing materials.
Main Characteristics
① Heat-resistant properties
PEEK resin is a semi-crystalline polymer. Its glass transition temperature Tg = 143 ℃, melting point Tm = 334 ℃.
Mechanical Properties
The tensile strength of PEEK resin at room temperature is 100MPa, 175MPa after 30% GF reinforcement, 260Mpa after 30% CF reinforcement; the bending strength of pure resin is 165MPa, 265MPa after 30% GF reinforcement, 380MPa after 30% CF reinforcement.
③ Impact resistance
The impact resistance of PEEK pure resin is one of the best varieties of special engineering plastics, and its unnotched impact can reach more than 200Kg-cm/cm.
④ Flame retardant
PEEK resin has its own flame retardant, without adding any flame retardant can reach the highest flame retardant grade (UL94V-O).
⑤ Chemical Resistance
PEEK resin has good chemical resistance.
