As a kind of plastic, PEEK rods shine in aerospace, medical and other fields due to their unique properties. The reason why they can be used so widely is mainly due to the following product characteristics.

1. Strong flame retardancy
This is because PEEK rods are very stable polymers. Samples with a thickness of 1.45mm can reach high flame retardancy standards without adding any flame retardants.
2. Easy processing
If this material is used, parts can be directly processed by injection molding. Post-processing such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, bonding and ultrasonic welding can be performed.
3. Good wear resistance
In many extremely harsh application environments such as high temperature, high load, and strong corrosion, PEEK polymers and their composites have wear resistance.
4. Radiation resistance
PEEK rods have extremely strong resistance to high-dose gamma-ray radiation, and the mechanical properties can be fully retained. They can be used as radiation-resistant parts in nuclear equipment.
5. Mechanical properties
Generally speaking, PEEK is a plastic that has both toughness and rigidity and achieves a balance. In particular, its excellent fatigue resistance to alternating stress is excellent among all plastics and can be comparable to alloy materials.
The above are the five major product characteristics of PEEK rods. I believe that with such an introduction, everyone will have a newer understanding of PEEK materials.
