Kyron® GC100 Polyetheretherketone PEEK

Kyron® GC-100 is an injection-molded, high-temperature material offering outstanding stiffness and machinability without the presence of fiber. It is designed specifically for burn-in and test socket applications that require an extremely high degree of stability and superior micro-machinability.Kyron® GC-100 is a non fiber filled injection molded polymer designed specifically for burn in & test socket applications that require an extremely high degree of stability yet also requires superior micro machinable.

Key Benefits
• Flexural modulus of over 1,000,000 psi
• Available in 10” x 10” plates of 6mm, 9mm or 12mm thick
• Tensile elongation of 3.0% for precise hole placement
• Extremely stable during usage, CTE of 1.85(x10-5th)

Advantages of Kyron® GC-100:

Non-fiber filled ultra-stiff polymer delivering exceptional dimensional stability
Developed to complement Semitron® MDS-100 with thicker cross sections (6mm, 9mm, & 12mm)
Low CTE provides stability over a wide range of test conditions
Injection molded plate provides a low-cost alternative to expensive polyimides
Low tensile elongation allows for increased accuracy in hole placement

Test Socket Material 

Versus MDS-100 – Designed to complement MDS-100, offers relatively similar properties but available in thicker cross sections

Versus GF-PAI – Kyron® GC-100 provides the stiffness of GF PAI with improved small hole machinability & lower moisture absorption 

Versus Standard Polyimides – Kyron® GC-100 offers 2X higher stiffness, 2.5X less moisture absorption, 35% lower CTE and 2X better hole accuracy
