Ketron® CA30 PEEK
- Chemical Family
- Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
Ketron® CA30 Polyetheretherketone PEEK is a 30% carbon fiber-reinforced grade that exhibits even higher stiffness, mechanical strength, and creep and wear resistance that Ketron® GF30 PEEK. With a significantly reduced thermal expansion, optimum load carrying capabilities, and high thermal conductivity rates, Ketron® CA30 PEEK components are often favored for their ability to extend part life and rapidly dissipate heat in bearing applications.

- Engineering Notes
The stiffness of all PEEK grades drops off significantly and expansion rate increases above its glass transition temperature (Tg) of 300°F (150°C). A material like Torlon* PAI would be better suited for close tolerance bearings or seals operating at temperatures higher than 300°F (150°C)
