Reinforced with 30% fiberglass offers greater rigidity and creep resistance than Ketron PEEK 1000® and has much better dimensional stability. Ketron Peek GF30® is very suitable for structural applications that carry high static charges for long periods of time at high temperatures. The application of the Ketron GF30 PEEK® to sliding parts, however, should be carefully examined, since the glass fibers tend to wear out the contact surface.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- High maximum service air temperature (250 ° C continuous and 310 ° C for short periods)
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, even at high temperatures
- Excellent resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis
- Excellent wear and frictional behavior
- Very good dimensional stability
- Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gamma rays and X-rays)
- Good PTFE replacement when mechanical load capacity is greater or when superior wear resistance is required
