PolyArylEtherKetone (PAEK)

Polyaryl ether ketones (PAEK) are a family of high-performance engineering polymers known for their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Due to their unique chemical structure, these polymers offer a combination of high strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.

PAEK Applications

Aerospace Industry: Production of aircraft parts, satellites and missiles
Automotive Industry: Production of automotive parts such as brakes, bearings and electrical connectors
Electronics Industry: Production of electronic parts such as insulators and connectors
Medical Industry: Production of medical implants, surgical instruments and medical equipment
Oil and Gas Industry: Production of pipes and fittings for the transport of hot and corrosive fluids

Key properties of PAEKs

High thermal resistance: PAEKs maintain their stability at high temperatures and can be used in high-temperature environments.
Excellent chemical resistance: PAEKs are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, bases and solvents.
Excellent mechanical properties: PAEKs have high tensile strength, Young’s modulus and creep resistance.
Good dimensional stability: PAEKs resist deformation due to heat.
Good electrical insulation: PAEKs are excellent electrical insulators.
Flame resistance: PAEKs are self-extinguishing and flame resistant.
