Ketron™ CM GF30 PEEK is a compression-molded, 30% glass fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone grade with excellent dimensional stability and outstanding chemical, corrosion and creep resistance. With the addition of glass fibers, Ketron™ CM GF30 PEEK has a significantly low expansion rate and high flexural modulus. In addition to these characteristics, Ketron™ CM GF30 PEEK is often favored for structural applications that require improved strength, stiffness, or stability, especially at temperatures above 150°C (300°F).
