PEEK GF30 Fasteners and Components

PEEK GF30 (30% glass-fibre reinforced Polyether Ether Ketone) enables the much-desired characteristics of PEEK such as chemical resistance and RF transparency to be improved through use of added strength and stiffness. This allows applications, which before were reserved to metallic fasteners to access polymer screws as a true metal fastener alternative.

High-performance polymer-plastic PEEK GF30 fasteners and components are widely used in the space industry due to their unique combination of strength, durability, and thermal properties. PEEK GF30 is a high-performance polymer that is reinforced with 30% glass fiber, making it one of the strongest and most durable materials available for use in the aerospace industry.

One of the key advantages of PEEK GF30 fasteners and components is their resistance to extreme temperatures. They can withstand temperatures ranging from -55°C to +260°C, making them ideal for use in the harsh environment of outer space. Additionally, they exhibit excellent chemical resistance, allowing them to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals, including fuels and oxidizers.

PEEK GF30 fasteners and components are also highly resistant to radiation, which is important in the space industry where exposure to radiation can cause damage to equipment and components. They have been extensively tested and proven to withstand the harsh radiation environment of outer space, making them ideal for use in critical applications such as satellite components and spacecraft structures.

Another important application of PEEK GF30 fasteners and components is in cryogenic environments. They can withstand exposure to cryogenic temperatures without losing their mechanical properties, making them ideal for use in the construction of cryogenic tanks and other equipment.

In addition to their thermal and chemical properties, PEEK GF30 fasteners and components also offer excellent mechanical properties. They are highly resistant to wear and abrasion, making them ideal for use in applications where friction and wear are a concern. They also offer high stiffness and excellent dimensional stability, which is important in applications where precision and accuracy are critical.

In conclusion, PEEK GF30 fasteners and components offer several advantages over traditional metal fasteners in the space industry. Their thermal and chemical resistance, radiation resistance, and mechanical properties make them ideal for use in critical applications such as satellite components, spacecraft structures, and cryogenic tanks.
