Ketron PEEK GF30


Ketron PEEK GF30 Product Description

The KETRON PEEK family of materials is based on polyetheretherketone resin. This semi-crystalline advanced material exhibits a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance making it the most popular advanced plastics material.


This 30% glass fibre reinforced grade offers higher stiffness and creep resistance than KETRON PEEK 1000 and has a much better dimensional stability. KETRON PEEK GF30 is very appropriate for structural parts carrying high static loads for long periods of time at elevated temperatures. Its suitability for sliding parts, however, is to be carefully examined since the glass fibres tend to abrade the mating surface.


PEEK Plastics Applications:

    Replacement of PTFE because of:
  • Higher mechanical load bearing capacity
  • Superb wear resistance

 

    Metal Replacement Examples:
  • Pump components
  • Valve seats
  • Bearings - rollers - gears
  • High temperature insulators
  • Components exposed to boiling water or steam
