The company I work for use it as well for flat seals in some applications instead of o rings. either that or ptfe carbon.

Yes we do the same. We machine flat seals out of it we also use PTFE carbon.

PEEK is normally selected for an application for its ability to retain its mechanical properties above 200 even to 350-400C, for lower temp requirements an acetal co polymer or block composite might be sufficient & at ade fraction the price.
Define the application critical requirements & I guess many people here can suggest why they use or what might be suitable. Used it compounded with Ptfe +bronze powder for drill head thrust bearings using mud as a lube it worked well
