my country’s polyetherketoneketone demand will exceed 65 tons in 2021
Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is a polymer composed of repeating units containing two ketone bonds and one ether bond in the main chain structure. It is a special polymer material with excellent high temperature resistance, mechanical properties, and durability. With comprehensive properties such as corrosion performance and tribology, polyetherketoneketone can be used as high-temperature resistant structural materials and electrical insulation materials, and can be combined with glass fiber or carbon fiber to prepare reinforced materials.
Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) has a wide range of downstream applications, covering aerospace, automotive industry, 3D printing, medical, energy, oil and gas, electronic and electrical fields, etc. In the aerospace field, PEEK can be used as coating materials for special wires such as aircraft and satellites; in the automotive industry, it can be used in automotive vacuum pump parts, bearings, gaskets, seals, clutch gears, etc.; in the medical field, it can be used to manufacture sterilization Components, implanted instruments, and surgical and dental equipment that need to be used repeatedly; in the field of electronic appliances, PEKK materials can make appliances more energy-saving, quieter, compact, and provide longer warranty periods.
In recent years, with the continuous development of downstream industries, the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, and the increasing awareness of polyetherketoneketone by downstream users, the demand for polyetherketoneketone in my country has continued to grow. According to the “China 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center The “Polyether Ketone Ketone Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report” shows that my country’s demand for polyether ketone ketone will exceed 65 tons in 2021, approximately twice that of 2017. From the perspective of actual demand fields, because polyetherketoneketone is relatively expensive, the current practical applications of this product are mainly concentrated in high-end fields such as aerospace, high-end medical, and 3D printing.
Polyetherketoneketone has high technical barriers. Currently, there are few companies that have mastered this production technology. Only a few companies in the global market, such as Arkema and Solvay, have large-scale production capabilities. There are only a few companies with large-scale production capabilities in my country. The only enterprise is Shandong Kaisheng New Materials Co., Ltd. Therefore, the current domestic production of polyetherketoneketone is far from meeting the domestic market demand, and the products are highly dependent on exports. The main imported brands include Arkema, Solvay, etc.
Relying on their mature product production and sales systems, as well as good product quality and sufficient supply capacity, foreign brands such as Arkema and Solvay occupy the majority of my country’s market share and have a number of relatively stable customer resources.
However, as Shandong Kaisheng New Materials Co., Ltd. gradually expands its production scale and the company’s new production capacity is gradually released, the current domestic polyetherketoneketone production maintains a rapid growth trend. In addition to supplying the domestic market, it is also exported to foreign markets. , in the future, as the company’s 2,000-ton production capacity is gradually released, it is expected that the degree of localization of my country’s polyetherketoneketone will further increase, the substitution of imported products will increase, and the scale of product exports will also grow rapidly.
