PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high-performance special engineering plastic with excellent high temperature resistance (long-term 260℃), chemical corrosion resistance, high rigidity and high wear resistance. Its mechanical properties are comparable to metals, and it also has the advantages of light weight, no precipitation and self-lubrication, known as the "king of special plastics". It can be made into various high-end precision components through CNC precision processing and injection molding, and is widely suitable for high-end fields such as electronics, automotive, medical, aerospace and chemical industry, making it the preferred material for core structural components under harsh working conditions.
Guangzhou Best Rubber & Plastic has been focusing on the customization and precision processing of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) products for many years. We have deeply explored the customization needs of high-end industries and accurately grasped the core advantages of PEEK: high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high rigidity and precise dimensions. Using high-quality imported PEEK raw materials (pure PEEK, glass fiber/carbon fiber modified PEEK), combined with high-precision CNC mechanical processing and injection molding technology, we can custom-make various non-standard PEEK precision components according to the drawings (CAD, STP format is preferred), samples or harsh working condition requirements provided by customers. The tolerance can be accurately controlled within ±0.01mm, the surface is smooth and burr-free, and the batch consistency is strong. It can completely replace high-end metal components, reduce equipment operation and maintenance costs, and improve equipment operation stability and service life.
As a benchmark of high-performance special engineering plastics, PEEK has been widely used in many high-end industries due to its superior comprehensive performance. The following are specific customization cases:
Case 1: Electronic Industry - PCB Equipment Transmission Gears, Etching Machine Accessories: Customized PEEK transmission gears and etching machine accessories for PCB manufacturing enterprises. Taking advantage of PEEK's high temperature resistance (adapting to 100-150℃ working conditions) and chemical corrosion resistance, it resists the erosion of electroplating solution and etching agent, without swelling or debris falling, avoiding pollution of PCB boards. At the same time, relying on its self-lubricating advantage, no additional lubrication is needed, reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance. Its service life is 3-5 times longer than that of traditional metal gears, adapting to various high-end PCB equipment, and has been supplied in batches to many domestic electronic enterprises.
Case 2: Automotive Industry - New Energy Vehicle Battery Shells, Engine Seals: Customized PEEK battery shells and engine seals for new energy vehicle manufacturers. Relying on PEEK's characteristics of high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and excellent insulation, it adapts to the high temperature environment of the battery compartment, prevents battery short circuit, and has good impact resistance to protect battery safety. Engine seals can resist the erosion of engine oil and fuel, with stable sealing performance, helping the lightweight and high-end upgrading of automobiles, and adapting to various new energy vehicle models.
Case 3: Medical Industry - Core Components of Precision Medical Instruments: Customized medical-grade PEEK precision accessories (such as surgical instrument guides, endoscope components, and artificial joint auxiliary parts). Using medical-grade PEEK raw materials, it is odorless and free of harmful substances, with good biocompatibility and sterilization resistance. It can adapt to various sterilization methods such as high-pressure steam and ethylene oxide, and is widely used in high-end disposable medical instruments and minimally invasive medical equipment, winning high recognition from medical industry customers.
Case 4: Chemical Industry - Corrosion Resistant Accessories for Chemical Equipment: Customized PEEK corrosion resistant accessories (such as valves, pipelines, pump impellers) for chemical enterprises. Using PEEK's excellent acid and alkali resistance and organic solvent resistance, it adapts to the harsh working conditions of strong acid, strong alkali and high temperature (≤260℃) in chemical production, without corrosion or deformation, solving the pain points that traditional metal accessories are easy to rust and plastic accessories are easy to age, improving the operation safety of chemical equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
Case 5: Aerospace Industry - Lightweight Structural Parts: Customized PEEK lightweight structural parts for the aerospace field. Relying on PEEK's advantages of high rigidity and light weight (density only 1.32g/cm³, less than 1/5 of steel), it greatly reduces the weight of equipment while ensuring structural strength, adapting to the lightweight needs of aerospace equipment. It has excellent radiation resistance and high and low temperature resistance, and can operate stably in extreme environments.

For the harsh working conditions of different industries, we can provide one-stop services including raw material modification, process optimization and sample customization. From raw material selection, process debugging, sample production to mass delivery, we follow up one-on-one throughout the process to ensure that the products fully meet customer needs and help customers improve the core competitiveness of their products.
To help customers understand our PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) customization service, the following are frequently asked questions (FAQ) for your reference:
Q1: What specifications and complex structures of PEEK products can be customized?
A: Full-specification non-standard customization is supported. Whether it is small precision electronic accessories (minimum size can be 1mm) or large chemical equipment accessories (maximum size can be customized to 1200mm), they can be precisely processed according to drawings or samples, and can adapt to various structures such as special-shaped, porous and complex curved surfaces, with no restrictions on specifications and structures.
Q2: What are the core advantages of PEEK? What is the difference compared with POM and PA?
A: The core advantages of PEEK are high temperature resistance (long-term 260℃), chemical corrosion resistance, high rigidity and long service life. Its mechanical properties are close to metals, and it has no precipitation and self-lubrication. Compared with POM and PA, PEEK's high temperature and corrosion resistance are far superior to both, suitable for harsh working conditions. Although the cost is slightly higher, it can greatly reduce equipment maintenance and replacement costs, adapting to high-end equipment needs.
Q3: What information is needed to customize PEEK products?
A: It is recommended to provide product drawings (CAD, STP format is preferred), specific dimensional parameters, working conditions (such as temperature, pressure, contact medium, operating speed) and delivery requirements. According to the working conditions, we will recommend suitable PEEK raw materials (pure PEEK/glass fiber/carbon fiber modified), optimize the processing plan, and provide accurate quotations and production cycles.
Q4: What are the specific temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of PEEK products? What extreme working conditions are they suitable for?
A: Conventional PEEK products have a long-term temperature resistance of 260℃ and a short-term temperature resistance of up to 300℃. They can withstand various chemical media such as strong acids, strong alkalis and organic solvents (such as acetone and ethanol) without swelling or cracking. They are suitable for extreme working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high-frequency vibration, chemical corrosion and radiation, and are widely used in high-end electronics, chemical industry, aerospace and other fields.
Q5: What is the delivery time for customized PEEK products? Can samples be provided?
A: Direct supply from local factory in Guangzhou. The delivery time for conventional precision components is 5-7 days, and the delivery time for complex special-shaped parts and large accessories is 10-15 days, and urgent production can be coordinated. A small number of samples (1-2 pieces) can be provided free of charge, and the sample freight shall be borne by the customer. The sample production cycle is 2-3 days, ensuring that the sample quality is consistent with mass production, allowing customers to inspect the performance and size in advance.
