The main applications of PEEK tubes include the following aspects:
Aerospace: PEEK tubes are mainly used in the aerospace field to manufacture aircraft parts, such as seals, impellers, and catheters inside the engine. Due to its high temperature resistance, high strength and low weight, PEEK tubes are 65% lighter than stainless steel, 45% lighter than titanium alloys, and 30% lighter than aluminum alloys, thereby improving the fuel efficiency and reliability of aircraft.
Automobile manufacturing: In the automotive field, PEEK tubes are used to manufacture engine parts such as valve guides, impellers and seals of turbocharging systems, etc., to withstand high temperatures and harsh working environments, and improve engine performance and reliability. In addition, the application of PEEK materials can also achieve lightweight automotive parts, reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
Medical field: PEEK tubes are widely used in the medical field, including making various medical catheters such as cardiovascular interventional catheters, neurointerventional catheters, chemotherapy drug infusion catheters, enteral nutrition infusion catheters, etc. PEEK materials are also used to manufacture medical devices and implants such as artificial spinal implants, artificial joints, and bone repair products due to their excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Electronic information manufacturing: PEEK tubes also have important applications in the field of electronic information manufacturing. Due to their good wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, antistatic properties, and low degassing, they help prevent particle contamination and improve the reliability of wafer handling, storage, and transfer.
Petrochemical industry: PEEK tubes are used to manufacture components of petrochemical equipment such as pipes, valves, pump impellers, and seals due to their chemical stability and high temperature resistance, and resist erosion by corrosive media.
Industrial manufacturing: In the field of industrial manufacturing, PEEK tubes can be used to manufacture various mechanical parts such as wire guides for textile machinery, rollers for printing machinery, and parts for food processing machinery. Its self-lubrication and wear resistance can reduce the maintenance and replacement frequency of equipment.
Energy: PEEK tubes are also used to manufacture parts of wind power equipment, such as blade connectors, generator parts, etc., which can withstand harsh climatic conditions and high stress. Food and Beverage: PEEK tubes meet the safety standards of food contact materials due to their good chemical stability and low moisture absorption rate, and can be used to manufacture parts of food and beverage processing equipment.
