What is PEEK GL30?

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) GL30 refers to a PEEK polymer that is reinforced with 30% glass fiber (GF). PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. When glass fibers are added to PEEK, it enhances certain properties, making it suitable for a wider range of applications.

Here are some key characteristics of PEEK GL30 granules:

Enhanced Mechanical Strength: The addition of glass fibers improves the tensile strength, stiffness, and impact resistance of the material. This makes PEEK GL30 suitable for applications that require higher mechanical performance.

Dimensional Stability: Glass fiber reinforcement also contributes to improved dimensional stability, reducing the risk of warping or deformation under certain conditions.

Thermal Resistance: PEEK is already known for its excellent thermal stability, and the addition of glass fibers typically does not compromise this property. PEEK GL30 can withstand high temperatures and maintain its mechanical properties in challenging thermal environments.

Chemical Resistance: PEEK, in general, is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, and the addition of glass fibers usually doesn't significantly affect its chemical resistance.

Electrical Properties: PEEK GL30 retains good electrical insulating properties, making it suitable for applications in electronics and electrical engineering.

Applications: PEEK GL30 is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, medical, and electronics. Specific applications include components in automotive engines, electrical connectors, pump components, and structural parts in various industries.

When working with PEEK GL30 granules or any material, it's important to follow the Victrex® guidelines for processing and handling. This ensures that the material is used optimally and meets the desired performance criteria in the final application. Always refer to the technical datasheets and specifications provided by Victrex® for detailed information on the material's properties and processing guidelines.
