PEEK 30% Glass
Overview
What is the Material: PEEK 30% Glass is a semi-crystalline material filled with glass fibers.
Key Material Features: This material is beneficial in applications requiring increased mechanical strength, low density, wear resistance, low friction, and dimensional stability, while maintaining many properties of other PEEK materials including mechanical properties, chemical resistance and temperature resistance.
Other Considerations: The glass fibers increase the materials structural properties, but the glass fibers can be abrasive. This material has notable hydrolysis/steam resistance.
