Ketron® PEEK HPV


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 wear and friction applications.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS


- Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [250 °C continuously, up to 310 °C for short periods of time] 

- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also at elevated temperatures
Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance 

- Excellent wear and frictional behaviour 

- Very good dimensional stability 
 
​​​​​​- Excellent resistance to high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays]
