PEEK rod, or polyetheretherketone (PEEK), is a specialty engineering plastic made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) resin via extrusion or molding. As a high-performance polymer material, it is highly sought after in high-end sectors such as aerospace, medical, and automotive due to its exceptional mechanical properties, temperature resistance, and chemical stability, making it an ideal alternative to metal and traditional plastics.

PEEK rod boasts exceptional performance characteristics.

In terms of high-temperature resistance, it can withstand long-term use in environments as high as 260°C and short-term temperatures exceeding 300°C, maintaining stable mechanical properties even at high temperatures. Its mechanical properties are exceptional, with high strength, high rigidity, and excellent fatigue resistance, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and frequent stress cycles. It also exhibits excellent impact toughness and is resistant to brittle fracture.

It is extremely chemically resistant, offering excellent resistance to a variety of chemical media, including acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, maintaining stable performance even in harsh chemical environments. It also offers excellent electrical insulation, wear resistance, and self-lubrication. It meets medical-grade material requirements, is biocompatible, and is non-toxic.

Due to these high-end properties, PEEK rods are widely used in high-demand applications.

In the aerospace sector, they are often used to manufacture aircraft engine components, fuselage structures, and electrical insulation components, leveraging their lightweight and high-temperature resistance to reduce equipment weight and ensure safe operation. In the medical field, they can be processed into orthopedic implants and surgical instrument components, thanks to their excellent biocompatibility with human tissue and resistance to corrosive body fluids.

In the automotive industry, they are used in high-temperature engine peripheral components and wear-resistant transmission system parts, enhancing the high-temperature resistance and operational reliability of vehicles. In the electronics and semiconductor field, they are used to manufacture chip test fixtures and insulating brackets, leveraging their heat resistance and insulation properties to ensure the stable operation of electronic equipment.

In addition, PEEK rods also play an important role in the petrochemical industry, precision machinery, and other fields, such as valve components and precision gears that are resistant to high pressure and corrosion.

With the continuous development of high-end manufacturing, the application prospects of PEEK rods will continue to expand, providing strong material support for technological upgrades in various industries.
