Ketron 1000 PEEK ROD round bar

PEEK (KETRON, Tecapeek, polyether ether ketone) TECAPEEK® (Polyetheretherketone) is a high temperature wear material with excellent strength and rigidity. It has superior wear and abrasion resistance and has broad chemical resistance.Material tradenames include SustaPEEK with Victrex450G™ resin, Ketron® PEEK 1000, TecaPEEK™, ZL® 1500, & Unitrex. 

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic high-performance material, and is characterized mainly by its very good mechanical properties and exceptional dimensional stability, even at high continuous operating temperatures of up to 480°F. PEEK materials are suitable for a wide range of applications with demanding operating conditions. PEEK grades offer chemical and hydrolysis resistance similar to PPS, but can operate at higher temperatures.

PEEK carries a V-0 flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame.

Available in Sheet, Rod & Tube - colors are natural (tan) and black.

PEEK Glass-filled

Material tradenames include SustaPEEK GF30, Ketron® PEEK GF30, TecaPEEK™ GF30, & Unitrex.

The addition of glass fibers significantly reduces the expansion rate and increases the flexural modulus of PEEK. This grade is ideal for structural applications that require improved strength, stiffness or stability, especially at temperatures above 300°F (150°C).

Available in Sheet & Rod - colors are natural and black.

PEEK Carbon Filled

Material tradenames include SustaPEEK CF30, Ketron® PEEK CA30, TecaPEEK™ CF30, & Unitrex.

30% Carbon Filled PEEK contains carbon fibers which enhance the compressive strength and stiffness of PEEK, and dramatically lowers its expansion rate. It offers designers optimum wear resistance and load carrying capability in a PEEK-based product. This grade provides 3½ times higher thermal conductivity than unreinforced PEEK -- dissipating heat from the bearing surface faster.

Available in Sheet & Rod - black in color.

PEEK Bearing Grade

Material tradenames include SustaPEEK MOD, Ketron® PEEK HPV, TecaPEEK™ PVX, & Unitrex.

Carbon fiber reinforced with graphite and PTFE lubricants, our newest grade of PEEK offers the lowest coefficient of friction and the best machinability for all PEEK grades. An excellent combination of low friction, low wear, high LPV, low mating part wear and easy machining, make it ideal for aggressive service bearings. Available in Tube.

PEEK Colors: Natural, Black, Brown Gray, Blue

.Very high maximum operating temperature in air (250°C continuously, up to 310°C for short periods of time)

·At higher temperature, it also has higher mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance.

·Excellent chemical resistance and hydrolysis resistance

·Excellent wear resistance

·Good dimensional stability

.Excellent resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)

·Inherently low flammability, and extremely low levels of smoke diffusion during combustion.

Ketron PEEK series products are based on polyetheretherketone resin, which is a semi-crystalline advanced material. It exhibits unique high mechanical properties, high temperature resistance and excellent chemical corrosion resistance, making it the most popular advanced plastic material. 

Ketron 1000 PEEK natural and black (rod, sheet, tube) are food grade.
