Polyaryl ether ketone (PAEK)'s wide range of application fields and market demand will continue to rise

Polyaryl ether ketone, referred to as PAEK, is a crystalline polymer formed by connecting a phenylene ring to a carbonyl (ketone) group through an oxygen bridge. According to the different connection order and proportion of molecular chain ether/ketone bonds and benzene rings, polyaryl ether ketone can be divided into polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone (PEK), polyether ketone ketone (PEKK), polyether ether ketone Ketone (PEEKK) and polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK) and other products, among which PEEK is the most important.

Research on polyaryl ether ketone started in the 1950s, with PEEK being the first product to be industrially produced. At this stage, PEEK manufacturers worldwide mainly include Evonik, Solvay, Victrex, and JD Plastics , Pengfulong, Zhongyan Polymer, Haoran Special Plastics, etc., among which Victrex is the world’s largest polyetheretherketone manufacturer. As relevant projects under construction and proposed come into operation, global polyetheretherketone production capacity will be further improved.

Polyaryl ether ketone has excellent electrical insulation, mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and chemical resistance, and is widely used in automobiles, aerospace, petrochemicals, medical, machinery, electronics, communications, coatings and other fields. . At this stage, the global polyaryl ether ketone market is mainly concentrated in Europe, North America and Asia. Among them, Europe has the highest demand for polyaryl ether ketone products, accounting for about 50% of the world’s demand.

According to the “2022-2027 China Polyarylether Ketone (PAEK) Industry Market Segment Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report strong>” shows that in 2021, the global polyaryl ether ketone market size will be around 6 billion yuan. With the economic rise and industrial transformation and upgrading of Asia, the demand for polyaryl ether ketone products in Asia will continue to rise. Within this region, And we will use China’s greatest development potential.

In terms of preparation technology, since the 1980s, with the advancement of technology and the release of demand, the types of polyaryl ether ketone preparation processes have continued to increase. At this stage, the preparation processes of polyaryl ether ketone include electrophilic substitution method, nucleophilic substitution method, nitro substitution method, silicon ether substitution method, aryl ester substitution method, metal-catalyzed condensation method, etc.

With the upgrading of demand and the expansion of terminal application fields, the market has higher requirements for the performance of polyaryl ether ketone. Against this background, the modified polyaryl ether ketone market is facing development opportunities. At present, polyaryl ether ketone modification methods include the introduction of semi-flexible groups, the introduction of rigid groups, the introduction of side groups, copolymerization/blending modification, etc. The modified polyaryl ether ketone products include thermotropic liquid crystal PAEK, sulfonated PAEK, overbranched Chemical PAEK and cyclic PAEK, etc.

Industry analysts said that with its excellent performance, polyaryl ether ketone has shown great success in many fields such as automobiles, machinery, medical treatment, and aerospace. It has good application prospects, but due to the complex preparation process and expensive monomers, the current global polyaryl ether ketone market is still small. At this stage, our country’s economy is continuously transforming towards high quality. The domestic market demand for polyaryl ether ketone continues to rise, and there is broad room for industry development in the future.
