Reinforced with 30% carbon fibers, it combines even greater rigidity, mechanical resistance and resistance to deformation than Ketron PEEK GF30® with an ideal wear resistance. In addition, compared to unreinforced PEEK, carbon fibers considerably reduce thermal expansion and provide 3.5 times more thermal conductivity - dissipating heat from the bearing surface more quickly, improving bearing life and bearing capacity. pressure speed.
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 (acids and alkalis) and hydrolysis
- Excellent wear and frictional behavior
- Consistent and improved 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
