KETRON PEEK 1000 - Natural and Black
KETRON PEEK CA30 - Black
KETRON PEEK GF30 - Brownish grey
KETRON PEEK HPV - Black
All four grades are based
on VICTREX PEEK Polymers
- very high max. allowable service temperature in air (250 deg
C continuously, up to 310 deg C for short periods.
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also
at elevated temperatures
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Excellent wear and frictional behaviour (espc. HPV and CA30)
- Very good dimensional stability
- Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution
during combustion
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (not HPV
and CA30)
- Excellent resistance to high energy radiation (gamma and x-rays)
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.
Common Applications: Pump components; Valve seats; Bearings;
Rollers; Gears; High temperature Insulation; Components in boiling
water or steam.
KETRON
PEEK 1000 (PEEK)
Produced from virgin resin PEEK 1000 offers the highest toughness
and impact strength of the PEEK grades. The composition of the
raw materials used for the production of the PEEK 1000 natural
stock shapes complies with the directives of the European Union
and with the American FDA regulations concerning plastic materials
intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. These features,
added to it,s excellent sterilisability by means of steam, dry
heat, ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation, make this grade very
popular in pharmaceutical, food processing and medical industries
(not human implants).
KETRON PEEK GF30 (PEEK-GF30)
This 30% Glass fibre reinforced grade offers higher stiffness
and creep resistance than KETRON PEEK 1000 and has 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 as the glass fibres
tend to abrade the mating surface.
KETRON PEEK CA30 (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.
KETRON PEEK HPV (PEEK+CF+PTFE+graphite)
The addition of carbon fibres, PTFE and graphite to virgin PEEK
results in a KETRON PEEK 'Bearing grade'. Its excellent tribological
properties (low friction, long wear and high Pressure-Velocity
capabilities) make this grade especially suited for bearing and
wear applications.
