Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Application In Textile Machinery Industry

In the textile machinery industry, engineers have been searching for a material that can cope with high speeds, be oil-free and resistant to corrosion and hydrolysis in order to extend the life of parts and reduce machine operating costs. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has successfully replaced existing ceramics, metals and various types of common plastics due to its excellent performance, and has brought excellent performance, higher reliability and productivity to textile machinery parts. Such as: PEEK scraper veneer, PEEK wear-resistant bushings, PEEK pads, PEEK wear-resistant spools, PEEK high-temperature-resistant slider track plates, etc.

PEEK brings advantages in textile machinery:

High temperature resistance

Self-lubricating

Low friction and wear resistance

Chemical and steam resistance

Increased design flexibility

Mechanical strength

Weight and noise reduction

Why PEEK

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a material with both rigidity and toughness, excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, self-lubrication, high temperature resistance, and can be widely used for wear-resistant lubrication parts, seals and textiles. Reduces machine weight and noise, extends service life, and reduces or even avoids the use of lubricants.

PEEK in the textile machinery industry application introduction

PEEK polymer and its modified composite materials are recognized in today's market as a new polymer material with high comprehensive performance that can be melt-processed, with high temperature resistance (long-term resistance to 260 ℃, short-term can withstand high temperatures of 300 ℃), corrosion resistance, hydrolysis resistance, self-lubricating, abrasion resistance, high-strength, high-precision, dimensional stability and other outstanding characteristics of the advantages.

HONY Plastic's PEEK (polyether ether ketone) polymers and their composite high-performance plastic parts have been widely used in various processes such as textile, sewing, non-woven processing, dyeing and finishing, shaping, mercerizing, printing and embroidery.

Typical product forms are:

PEEK wear-resistant sliders, PEEK bearings, PEEK bushings, PEEK dust caps, PEEK wear-resistant buffer strips, PEEK track wear strips, PEEK amplitude adjusting nuts, PEEK wear-resistant landing tongs strips, PEEK bushings, PEEK yarn guides wear strips, PEEK gaskets, PEEK gears, PEEK beveled gears and wear plates, and so on.
