Benefits
Excellent wear and sliding properties.
Very high operating temperature (+ 250ºC continuously in air).
Very high resistance to hot water vapor.
Low flammability (UL94 V-0).
Low evolution of smoke and toxic gases.
Excellent chemical resistance and fatigue strength.
Hydrolysis resistant.
Withstands radiation. The melt viscosity is relatively low.
Flame resistant.
Hydrolysis resistant.
Withstands radiation. The melt viscosity is relatively low.
PEEK CA30 To get an even stiffer material, about 30% carbon fiber has been added. The mechanical strength increases as does the creep strength. The length extension coefficient decreases.
