Ketron PEEK-GF30

(Colours: Natural (Brownish grey) only)
This 30% glass fibre reinforced grade offers a higher stiffness and creep resistance than Ketron PEEK-1000 and has a much better dimensional stability. This grade is ideal for structural applications supporting high static loads for long periods of time at elevated temperatures. The suitability of Ketron PEEK-GF30 for sliding parts, however, is to be carefully examined since the glass fibres tend to abrade the mating surface.

Main Characteristics

Very high max. allowable service temperature in air (250°C continuously going up to 310°C for short periods)
High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness, also at elevated temperatures
Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
Excellent wear & frictional behaviour (particulary PEEK HPV and PEEK CA30)
Very good dimensional stability
Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion
Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except for PEEK HPV and PEEK CA30)
Excellent resistance against high energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)
Food contact compliant composition (PEEK 1000 Nat & PEEK TX)
