Solvay PEEK KetaSpire KT-820 CF30 PolyEtherEtherKetone Medium Flow 30% Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer All Color

Solvay PEEK KetaSpire KT-820 CF30 is a medium flow, 30% carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer available in all colors. This high-performance material offers exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance for demanding industrial applications.

KetaSpire PEEK (polyetheretherketone) offers the best combination of fatigue resistance and chemical resistance. With chemical resistance similar to PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), PEEK operates at higher temperatures and retains excellent mechanical properties at continuous-use temperatures up to 240°C (464°F), enabling metal replacement in severe environments.

The molecular structure of PEEK provides a valuable collection of high-performance characteristics. Aryl groups provide modulus, thermal stability, and flame retardance. Ether linkages provide toughness, ductility, and melt processability. Ketones provide long-term thermal-oxidative resistance and polarity for high melting temperature.

• Exceptional chemical resistance to organics, acids and bases
• Very good wear and abrasion resistance
• Best-in-class fatigue resistance
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Excellent resistance to hydrolysis in boiling water and superheated steam
• Superior dielectric with low loss at high temperatures and frequencies
• Ease of processing
• High purity

KetaSpire PEEK is characterized by excellent wear resistance, best-in-class fatigue resistance, ease of melt processing, high purity, and excellent chemical resistance to organics, acids, and bases. These properties make it well-suited for applications in:

• Additive manufacturing
• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Healthcare
• Oil & gas
• Semiconductor

Not all commercial PEEK products deliver the same level of performance. KetaSpire PEEK offers distinct performance advantages due to Solvay's newer polymer production technology. Depending on the grade, KetaSpire PEEK offers up to 20% higher impact strength, up to 60% higher ductility, and better fatigue resistance. KetaSpire PEEK also offers higher purity and brighter natural-colored compounds.

KetaSpire KT-820 CF30 is a moderately liquid, 30% carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The resin has higher strength and stiffness than unenhanced PEEK resin. Carbon fiber reinforcement provides higher mechanical strength to structural products, especially when operating temperatures approach 300°C. These characteristics make it well-suited for healthcare, transportation, electronics, chemical processing, and other industrial applications.
