Ketron® HPV PEEK

Ketron® HPV PEEK is a semicrystalline, polyetheretherketone [PEEK] grade reinforced with carbon fiber, graphite and PTFE lubricants. Offers the lowest coefficient of friction, low wear and the best machinability. Exhibits excellent chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, very low moisture absorption, good wear- & abrasion- resistance and remains unaffected by continuous exposure to hot water or steam. Provides excellent combination of thermal resistance and high compressive strength. Has very good dimensional stability, inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution during combustion. Also exhibits excellent resistance to high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays], high mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Is suitable for processing by extrusion. Used in pump components, valve seats, bearings, rollers, gears, high temperature insulators, components exposed to boiling water or steam.
