Ketron™ SP CA30 PEEK is a 30% carbon fiber-reinforced grade that combines high stiffness, mechanical strength and creep resistance, with optimum wear resistance. This grade provides more thermal conductivity than unreinforced PEEK, increasing heat dissipation from bearing surfaces and improving bearing life and pressure velocity capabilities.
