Lubricants tribological polymer contacts

Applications for PEEK in the aerospace industry include critical engine parts as the polymer can withstand high temperatures and the tribological interaction of dry and lubricated material contacts. In aircraft exterior parts, PEEK provides excellent resistance to rain erosion, while for aircraft interior components, its inherent flame letardancy and low smoke and toxic gas emission reduce hazard in the event of a fire. In aircraft electrical systems, the polymer is used for manufacture of convoluted tubing to protect wires and fibre optic filaments. PEEK is also used to protect the wire harnesses used in commercial aircraft engines.
