Aircraft internal and external applications
Aerospace engineers require a variety of lightweight materials that are flexible to process, reduce manufacturing costs, and withstand harsh environments. In an increasing number of aerospace applications, PEEK polymer materials are favored due to their exceptional strength, chemical inertness, flame retardant properties, and ease of processing into parts with extremely small tolerances.
Lighter flight and higher fuel efficiency
▲Weight reduction of up to 70% compared to metal, while maintaining the same strength and rigidity;
High-efficiency production
▲Injection molding allows engineers to simplify and standardize parts, and multiple parts can be combined into a functional component;
▲ Fewer parts and easier installation speed, thus accelerating assembly and reducing system costs.
Reliable quality
▲Under conditions of 260℃ (500℉), after more than 5000 hours of unstressed heating aging, there is no loss of tensile strength properties;
▲It is dimensionally stable and has excellent creep resistance, fatigue resistance and moisture resistance;
▲Resistant to aviation fuel, hydraulic oil, de-icing solution, pesticides, cleaning fluids, fire extinguishing chemicals, water, salt and steam;
▲It has a fire rating of UL94 V-0 and features low smoke and low toxic gas emissions.
It has successfully replaced metals, traditional composite materials, and other plastics.
PEEK cable ties
Used for bundling cables and securing them to the machine body. The low moisture absorption of PEEK polymer material ensures that the cable tie dimensions remain stable, thus preventing expansion and damage to the wire insulation.
PEEK composite fasteners
The use of lightweight composite materials in aircraft structures is becoming the standard in new aircraft development. This results in truly lightweight restraint systems, bolts, nuts, inserts, and brackets. These materials offer advantages such as fatigue resistance, high strength, and corrosion resistance.
PEEK radar radome
PEEK polymer material can be injection molded to produce high-precision radar radomes, which has the following advantages:
▲Excellent rainproof performance ▲High strength
▲Compared with other radar radome materials, its electrical performance is more stable under extreme temperature conditions.
