PEEK Shines At Zhuhai Airshow

November 16, 2024

PEEK Application in the aerospace industry

The heavy weapon of the country dances together in the dome of the sky, and the world pays attention to the China Airshow! The 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Expo opened on November 12 in Zhuhai, a number of aerospace field “big country heavy weapon” focused on debut, witnessed the development across the ability. The flight show was unprecedented, the Air Force “August 1st” flight display team shone on the scene, the whole field of attention; immediately after, J-20, J-35A, teach-10 and so on one after another, dancing in the blue sky, showing the majestic Chinese power.

In the high-speed development of the aerospace field, for the application of special engineering plastics its attention is very high, such as PEEK polyether ether ether ketone, by virtue of its excellent lightweight, high strength, high temperature characteristics, to meet the aerospace field in the complex environment of the performance needs in the aerospace field, in the aerospace field application plays an important role.

PEEK - Performance Advantages

Up to 70% weight reduction compared to metals with the same strength and stiffness;

Aging without stress heating for over 5000 hours at 260°C (500°F) with no loss of tensile strength properties;

Fire rating of UL94 V-0 with low smoke and toxic gas emissions;

Dimensional stability and excellent creep, fatigue and moisture resistance.

PEEK - Application Cases

Tongyi's plastic products brand “IWG” can provide customers with PEEK boards/rods to meet customer requirements for material performance, safety and efficiency, and contribute to the development of the industry.

1. Aircraft Structural Components Seats, Door Assemblies, Floor Supports: PEEK materials are ideal for the manufacture of internal aircraft structural components due to their lightweight and high strength properties. These components not only require sufficient strength to support the overall structure of the aircraft, but also require the lowest possible weight to improve flight efficiency.

2. Aero-engine components - bearings, seals: PEEK materials have excellent abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, can withstand the high temperature, high pressure and high-speed operation of the internal environment of the aero-engine. Therefore, PEEK bearings and seals are widely used in aero-engines. - Fuel system components: PEEK material's chemical resistance makes it suitable for manufacturing fuel system components such as pipes and valves, which need to withstand the chemical attack of fuel.
