GF30 PEEK Glass Fiber Reinforced PEEK

GF30 PEEK is a glass fiber reinforced PEEK material containing 30% glass fiber by weight. This modification enhances the performance of virgin PEEK, particularly in terms of stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance.

Key Features of GF30 PEEK (30% Glass Fiber Reinforced PEEK)

  • Excellent heat distortion temperature
  • Very good chemical resistance
  • Very high creep resistance
  • Resistant to hydrolysis and superheated steam
  • Inherent flame retardancy
  • Extremely high stiffness
  • High dimensional stability
  • Resistant to high-energy radiation
