PEEK - Polyethetherketone
- PEEK polymer continues to replace aluminium other metals as the material of choice in a wide range of aseospace applications.
● General
- The excellent mechanical performance allows parts to be designed with reduced weight, greater durability and strength, which makes PEEK an alternative solution to metals in extreme conditions. The thermal performance of PEEK as well as the wear and chemical resistance ensure longer life and integrity of components in harsh environments. In full compliance with the stringent aircraft safety standards, PEEK polymer combines outstanding physical and thermal characteristics with light weight and consistent ease of processing. High numbers of large volume components with fine tolerance can be cost-effectively formed and used without assembly or modification.
● Features
It is also highly resistant to thermal degradation as well as attack by both organic and aqueous environments.
