KETRON®
PEEK /
VICTREX® PEEK™ |
The KETRON PEEK family of materials is based on polyether-etherketone
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.
Main characteristics:
- very high max. allowable service temperature in air
(250°C continuously, up to 310°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 (particularly
KETRON PEEK-HPV and PEEK-CA30)
very good dimensional stability
inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke
evolution during combustion
good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
(except for KETRON PEEK-HPV and PEEK-CA30)
excellent resistance against high energy radiation
All four KETRON PEEK grades are based on VICTREX ® PEEK ™
polymers.

(PEEK)
natural (brownish grey) / black
KETRON PEEK-1000 stock shapes are produced from virgin
polyetheretherketone resin and offer the highest toughness and
impact strength of all KETRON PEEK grades.
The composition of the raw
materials used for the production of the KETRON PEEK-1000
natural stock shapes complies with the directives of the
European Union and the American FDA with respect to food
compatibility as well as to the USP-standard class VI with
respect to biocompatibility. These features, added to its
excellent sterilisability by means of steam, dry heat, ethylene
oxide and gamma irradiation, make this grade very popular in
medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.

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.

This 30% glass fibre reinforced grade offers higher stiffness
and creep resistance than KETRON PEEK-1000 and has a 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 since the glass
fibres tend to abrade the mating surface.
KETRON PEEK-CA30

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.
