Ketron® Sterra™ CA30 PEEK is a 30% carbon fiber-reinforced grade that exhibits even higher stiffness, mechanical strength, and creep and wear resistance than Ketron GF30 PEEK. With a significantly reduced thermal expansion, optimum load carrying capabilities, and high thermal conductivity rates, Ketron® Sterra™ CA30 PEEK components are often favored for their ability to extend part life and rapidly dissipate heat in bearing applications. As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, this material contains recycled content and exhibits a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.

Ketron® Sterra™ HPV PEEK shapes are carbon fiber reinforced with graphite and PTFE lubricants. This gives them the lowest coefficient of friction and the best machinability of all PEEK materials. Due to Ketron® Sterra™ HPV PEEK’s combination of low wear, low friction, and high LPV, this grade is often chosen as a solution for service bearings, bushings, insulators, valves, and seals. As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, this material contains recycled content and exhibits a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
