Vertec™ 5010

Chemical Family: Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)

Vertec™ 5010 is a glass fiber reinforced PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material. It exhibits higher modulus than VERTEC 5000 (neat PEEK), thus offering more resistance to deformation under load at elevated temperatures. This material is an ideal candidate for many structural component applications carrying high static loads. Due to the abrasiveness of glass fibers, its use against soft metal surfaces in dynamic applications must be carefully examined.
