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 KETRON 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 KETRON PEEK-HPV and KETRON PEEK-CA30)
* Excellent resistance against high energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)
KETRON PEEK-CA30 (black)
[PEEK - CF30]
This 30% carbon fibre reinforced grade combines even higher stiffness mechanical strength and creep resistance than KETRON PEEK-GF30 with an optimum wear resistance. Moreover, the carbon fibres provide 3.5 times higher thermal conductivity than virgin PEEK dissipating heat from the bearing surface faster.
