Aerospace
CNPEEK® high-performance PEEK materials can be considered for aerospace systems requiring lightweight construction, dimensional stability, vibration resistance and long-term reliability.
Compared with traditional metal components, properly selected PEEK materials may help reduce weight while still supporting structural, fastening, electrical insulation and protective functions in demanding service environments.
CNPEEK® material families can be evaluated for aircraft interior structures, pipeline clamps, brackets, electrical connector components, insulation parts, covers and other precision components according to processing and validation requirements.
Advantages of PEEK materials in aerospace applications
