PEEK belongs to the polyarylether ketones family. The polymer is semicrystalline high performance thermoplastic and is the highest priced in this category. PEEK is currently being used in specialized applications where polymers like PPS, PAI or other engineering plastics are not suitable for operations. The polymer has wide temperature operability and can have similar characteristics and performance at high temperatures of 250°C and harsh environments without losing any physical properties.
Global Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Demand Analysis (2015 - 2030) (Sample)
Along with excellent mechanical properties including impact resistance, low wear rate, and a low coefficient of friction, PEEK has a special property of emitting lower smoke and toxic gas when exposed to fire and has attained a VO flammability rating. Injection molding, extrusion, compression molding and powder coating processes can be used for the processing of PEEK to be used in different applications. Electrical & Electronics, transport and industrial applications are so far the largest consumers of PEEK and will continue being the major consumers in the long term forecast.
