Ketron® CA30 Polyetheretherketone PEEK is a 30% carbon fiber-reinforced grade that exhibits even higher stiffness, mechanical strength, and creep and wear resistance that Ketron® GF30 PEEK. With a significantly reduced thermal expansion, optimum load carrying capabilities, and high thermal conductivity rates, Ketron® CA30 PEEK components are often favored for their ability to extend part life and rapidly dissipate heat in bearing applications.

Ketron® CA30 PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic material that is known for its excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. It is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that is based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer and reinforced with carbon fibers. The addition of carbon fibers enhances its stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability, making it an ideal material for high-performance applications in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical industries. Ketron® CA30 PEEK offers excellent resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and abrasion, making it a suitable material for harsh environments. It is also easy to machine and has good electrical insulation properties.
