Features and advantages:
Self-lubricating, it can work stably for a long time without oiling, which can avoid the pollution of packaging equipment and food caused by the use of metal parts that need to be lubricated, and also make the appearance of packaging equipment neater and cleaner.
Wear resistance: PEEK and its composite materials have the best wear resistance among plastics, and their wear resistance is more than three times that of copper alloy.
Corrosion resistance: The trend of food processing and packaging equipment is to design them into self-cleaning types to ensure high standards of food quality and hygiene. Cleaning solutions are generally based on acid and chlorine. PEEK has an amazingly stable chemical structure and has good corrosion resistance to various organic and inorganic solutions, even at high temperatures. This solves the problem that metal and ordinary plastic parts cannot withstand corrosion for a long time.
High temperature resistance: In packaging machinery, high temperature and radiation are often used to sterilize packaging equipment or food. PEEK can be used continuously at a temperature of up to 260°C. Even at a high temperature of 300°C, it can still maintain excellent mechanical strength and can be heated in a hot air furnace, a steamer, a contact heater or a microwave oven. This allows PEEK parts to withstand repeated sterilization, including 200°C autoclave sterilization, 143°C flash sterilization, gamma ray sterilization, and ethylene oxide sterilization lamps, without losing mechanical properties and still having excellent stress cracking resistance.
Low moisture absorption, resistant to hydrolysis, can work in water and steam for a long time.
Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, PEEK itself is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and has long been certified by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It can be used in contact with food with no contact period.
Easy to mold. PEEK has good processing and molding characteristics. It can be easily processed into various complex and special-shaped parts according to customer drawings or samples using injection molding, turning, milling, punching, tapping, CNC precision carving and other processes.
Because PEEK has outstanding advantages such as wear resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, and self-lubrication, it can ensure continuous and long-term use on the equipment, avoiding equipment shutdown caused by replacing parts.
What is PEEK？
PEEK and its modified composite materials show excellent performance under high temperature and high humidity conditions. PEEK have excellent chemical corrosion resistance, self-lubricating, and wear-resistant properties, so it has become the most ideal material to replace copper alloys and ordinary rubber. Compared with them, PEEK has longer service life which can reduce equipment operating costs, improve equipment operating reliability.
High Temperature Performance
PEEK’s performance can remain stable in the temperature range from -196°C to 260°C. Under extreme working conditions, it can withstand 300″C for a short time. The performance of PEEK is still reliable even in high temperatures of several kilometers underground work environment.
High Strength and Wear Resistance
Compared with other plastics, PEEK is resistant to compression, impact and also have good fatigue resistance. PEEK is durable in mechanical equipment and wear-resistant environments.
Double the Service Life
PEEK sealing solutions can improve the part service life. Some domestic chemical companies use the PEEK5600FE20 polytetrafluoroethylene modified material designed by JUNHUA PEEK to replace the original material, the service life of the wear parts can even be extended by 1.3-3 times.
Corrosion Resistance
PEEK is chemically inert, and has no reaction to most acids, oils, greases and all other organic and inorganic solvents or enzymes, and can still maintain good strength and dimensional stability.
Self-lubricating
PEEK has low friction coefficient, low running resistance, can be used without oil in some working conditions. The equipment is cleaner, thus improving process reliability, improving energy efficiency and saving costs.
More dom in Design
Injection molds can be used for rapid injection molding of large quantities of complex special-shaped parts, and the cost is low compared to machining.

Common PEEK Grades and Properties
1. PEEK5600G (brown-gray/khaki) is made from pure polyetheretherketone resin and offers the best toughness and impact resistance of all PEEK grades. Pure PEEK can be sterilized using convenient methods (steam, dry heat, ethanol, and gamma-rays), and the raw materials used in its manufacture comply with EU and US FDA food compatibility regulations. These characteristics make it widely used in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.
2. PEEK5600LF30 (black) The addition of PTFE, graphite, and carbon fiber makes PEEK5600LF30 a bearing-grade plastic. Its superior tribological properties (low coefficient of friction, wear resistance, and high peak pressure limit) make it an ideal material for this class of friction applications.
3. PEEK5600GF30 (Brown-Gray): This material is a reinforced grade of plastic filled with 30% glass fiber. It offers superior rigidity, creep resistance, and dimensional stability compared to PEEK, making it ideal for structural parts. It can withstand fixed loads for extended periods at high temperatures. If PEEK5600GF30 is used as a sliding component, its suitability should be carefully verified, as the glass fiber can scratch mating surfaces.
4. PEEK5600CF30 (Black): This material is reinforced with 30% carbon fiber. It offers superior mechanical properties (higher elastic modulus, mechanical strength, and creep resistance) and wear resistance compared to PEEK5600GF30. Furthermore, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic has 3.5 times the thermal conductivity of unreinforced PEEK, dissipating heat more quickly from the bearing surface.
