Some specifications of PEEK:
Chemical resistance: PEEK shows high resistance in different chemical conditions and is only soluble in concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Long life: PEEK is a hard, rigid and strong polymer. This product has good abrasion resistance and coverage
Hydrolysis resistance: Polyetheretherketon material can exhibit a long-term period under water and steam pressure without showing any degradation.
Resistance to high temperature: In conditions where the operating temperature goes beyond the acceptable limit of other polymers, Peak is considered one of the recommended products.
Applications of Polyether ether ketone in various industries:
Application of PEEK in dialysis pump filter
In dialysis, the malfunction of the pump mechanism causes severe problems, so it is necessary that the pump is not affected by heat or cold, for this reason, due to its high thermal resistance, low water absorption, the peak is a suitable choice for this application.
Application of PEEK in aerospace
PEEK is one of the ideal products for the external parts of an aircraft that are in contact with atmospheric particles at low temperature. It is also preferred in this industry due to its low weight, inert properties and relatively cheap price.
Application of PEEK in oil and gas
Again, due to its good thermal tolerance, excellent chemical resistance and high mechanical resistance, polyurethane ketone is one of the right choices in this industry, especially for valve seals, rider rings and guide rings.
Filter construction
Biodiesel fuel filters
Biodiesel is known all over the world as an alternative fuel due to its many advantages, however, biodiesel is equipped with polyetheretherketone filters, which is because biodiesel has no effect on the peak and therefore long-term stability. We see from PEEK.
Battery separators made of PEEK
The battery separator is a composite product that separates the different layers of the battery. Polyetheretherketon with a thickness of 50 microns is much thinner than the satisfactory thickness of 195 microns for polypropylene in this part and again due to its chemical resistance. Well, PEEK, along with porosity control, is a quality material in the production of modern products.
Implant material made of PEEK
PEEK polyether ether ketone is very flexible, strong and durable and does not harm the skin and body, so it can be used in repairing and transplanting soft tissues of the body.
Food and Drink
Food dehydrators made of PEEK
The process of dehydration of materials for the production of powder and granules requires a temperature of up to 150 degrees, in which case polyethylene terephthalate is used. the river
Animal feed dryer made of PEEK
At the end of production, the feed of some animals on drying belts reaches a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius, and PEEK is one of the products that can be used in this area due to its high thermal tolerance.
Chemical and pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical products including centrifuges and filter discs:
Medical equipment is cleaned at a high temperature of 150 degrees, in which none of the plastics (polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinylidene fluoride and ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) can be stable. PEEK peak is very suitable for these types of filters, which shows a lot of stability and flexibility. In addition, the low sensitivity to contamination makes polyether ketone cost-effective in this application.
Vacuum belt filters:
There are filters that in a process where chemicals are dried by passing through filters on the belt, various chemical manufacturers are very interested in using polyetheretherketone in making their filters than polyester.
The exclusive properties of PEEK have made this material suitable for many applications, and these applications are added every day.
Some characteristics of PEEK: Chemical resistance: PEEK shows high resistance in different chemical conditions and only dissolves in concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Long life: PEEK is a hard, rigid and strong polymer. This product has good wear and coating resistance. Hydrolysis resistance: Polyether ether ketone material can withstand a long period of time under water and steam pressure without showing any degradation.
