Ketron® PEEK grades offer chemical and hydrolysis resistance similar to PPS, but can operate at higher temperature range. PEEK 1000 offers steam and wear resistance, while carbon-reinforced PEEK provides excellent wear capabilities. Our latest grade, PEEK HPV, offers outstanding bearing performance. PEEK can be used continuously to 480°F (250°C) and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. For hostile environments, PEEK is a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers. PEEK carries a V-O flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame. Excellent chemical resistance Very low moisture absorption Inherently good wear and abrasion resistance Unaffected by continuous exposure to hot water or steam

KyronMAX®, the unmatched carbon fiber-based technology platform. These compounds use a broad range of base polymers (Nylon/PA66, PEEK and PPA) that excel in demanding temperature and chemical environments.Property ComparisonMuch higher mechanical strength vs conventional glass and carbon filled systems, at same fiber percentage loadings. This increased mechanical performance, allows usage of lower filler loadings, increasing the material’s strain, which allows the part to yield and not to fracture.Standard Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) summary compares material stiffness over an elevated temperature range. Conventional glass and carbon filled Nylon compounds loose mechanical performance very quickly when exposed to even low elevated temperatures. In comparison, KyronMAX products demonstrate excellent property retention, even in the harshest of temperature regions.

Fluorosint® PTFE’s unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to virgin PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. Fluorosint grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability. Chemical resistance parallels PTFE Continuous use temperatures to 500°F (260°C) Compared to PTFE higher load carrying capability 1/9 of the deformation under load lower coefficient of thermal expansion

Sultron® products have the following features: Broad temperature range capability Good thermal and electrical insulation characteristics Hydrolysis resistant Radiation stability
