Glass fiber reinforced PEEK is one of the highest-performance plastics available in the market. It exhibits exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties.
Material Details
Glass fiber PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a reinforced polymer composite that offers enhanced creep strength and dimensional stability, along with high mechanical strength and rigidity. It provides exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including automotive fluids, and is insoluble in common solvents. Additionally, it possesses inherent flame resistance. These properties make glass fiber PEEK suitable for applications where parts are exposed to high static loads over extended periods in high-temperature conditions. However, it is less suitable for bearing or wear applications.
Technical Properties
The technical properties of glass fiber PEEK are as follows:
Property | Value/Description |
---|---|
Tensile Strength | 105 - 160 MPa |
Tensile Modulus | 7250 - 9000 MPa |
Tensile Elongation | 2.4 - 2.5% |
Flexural Strength | 130 - 250 MPa |
Flexural Modulus | 7625 - 8500 MPa |
HDT (0.45 MPa) | 300°C |
