Résumé : |
Across many industry sectors, the quest for enhanced performance of applications and cost-efficiencies is on. In addition to these traditional requirements, societal and environmental trends, such as the need to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and maintaining a healthy and active ageing population, are important needs that must be addressed as well. Due to its high-performing properties polyetheretherketone thermoplastic polymer is being used more and more frequently in many products |

- Hybrid overmolding technique
- Reduced cooling time for semiconductors
- Preventing particle contamination
- Figure : PEEK can replace fluoropolymers in cryogenic applications. Advanced Engineering Valve uses PEEK fromVictrex for sealings in ball valves
- Fig. 1 : Prototype of an aircraft cabin bracket : the part was produced via hybrid overmolding and has shown up to 50% weight savings compared to the original aluminum part
- Fig. 2 : CMP rings are used in semiconductor manufacturing. Made from PEEK they can result in longer operating times
- Fig. 3 : In semiconductor manufacturing, FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod) prevent wafer from contamination. They benefit PEEK's high resistance to aggressive chemicals and high temperatures
- Fig. 4 : PEEK polymer supports lower ionic contamination and prevention of haze formation on reticles
- Fig. 5 : Impellers for vacuum cleaners manufactured from PEEK : they are able to cope with high speeds and due to PEEK's properties maintain their shape
- Fig. 6 : Spiral lace closure solution for conveyor belts made from Zyex fibers from Victrex : the use of PEEK contributes for extended belt lifetime potential
- Fig. 7 : Boxcar implants can be used to replace collapsed or damaged vertebral body located in the cervical spine. The hydroxyapatite (HA) component in the PEEK used enchances bone apposition |
