The Aerospace industry requires construction materials which are light in weight, have excellent physical and thermal characteristics, and reduce the hazard to passengers and crew in the event of a fire. PEEK combines all these characteristics with easy processability.
Component integrity is also critical to keeping aircraft in service in order to minimize maintenance and downtime. PEEK can provide the chemical and corrosion resistance to jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, de-icing solution, salt, steam, water and other commonly used service fluids that would typically undermine the longevity of metals.
