Special Plastic PEEK For Electronic Cigarette

  PEEK, a kind of material located at the tip of the plastic pyramid, currently has a small number of enterprises mastering PEEK material polymerization process, less than 10 in the world, but the potential market is large. It is understood that the global sales volume reached 6035 tons in 2018. As a high-performance engineering plastic that can replace metal, peek's application market is expanding. Its application in electronic cigarette mainly focuses on heating peripheral accessories.

  With the popularity of IQOS, the attention of new tobacco products, especially heated non combustion e-cigarettes, has increased exponentially. According to the analysis of industry insiders, the shipment of IQOS cigarette sets exceeded 20 million units in 2018. Recently, Philip Morris International Korea has established a production system for 11 kinds of HEETS products and is expected to produce 12 billion heets per year. It is conceivable that the heating non combustion market is gradually expanding, so peek, as one of the main materials of accessories, may also usher in a market explosion period.

  Peek is currently applied in the field of heating non combustion electronic cigarette, such as the shell of heating non combustion electronic cigarette, the base of heating plate, atomization bin and so on. In addition to using peek materials for IQOS's cigarette case and heating base, the components of smoke frog's QOQ and sigrig's CIGRIG cigarette set also use peek materials.
