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.

Duratron® T4301 PAI Polyamide-imide is a high-performance plastic that offers exceptional properties for severe service wear applications. The addition of PTFE and graphite provides this grade with improved wear resistance and dimensional stability, making it an ideal solution for non-lubricated bearings, seals, bearing cages, and reciprocating compressor parts.Features:Very low expansion rate and coefficient of frictionLittle to no slip-stick in useExcellent dimensional stability over a wide temperature rangeHigh flexural modulus of 1,000,000 psiHigher wear resistance compared to unfilled Duratron® T4203 PAI gradeBenefits:Allows for increased bearing speeds and extended part lifeCan be used in severe service wear applicationsIdeal for non-lubricated bearings, seals, bearing cages, and reciprocating compressor partsApplications:Bearings and bearing cagesSealsReciprocating compressor partsOther severe service wear applicationsCompression-molded Duratron T4501 PAI is similar in composition to Duratron T4301 PAI, and is selected when larger shapes are required. Prior materials for these applications include steel cages, hardened steel balls, and bronze bushings. Duratron T4301 PAI (colour: black) also offers excellent dimensional stability over a wide temperature range.

Duratron® D7015G PI Polyimide is a high-performance bearing grade material that offers exceptional temperature and wear resistance. With a low coefficient of friction, this material is ideal for use in applications where high loads and speeds are a critical factor.Features:15% graphite added for long wear and frictionSuperior temperature and wear resistanceLow coefficient of frictionMaintains performance abilities with or without lubricationBenefits:Excellent choice for bearing, bushing, and seal applications where higher loads or speeds are a significant factorProvides long-lasting performance in harsh environmentsLow maintenance and long-lasting partsApplications:Bearings and bushings in high-temperature environmentsSeals for high-speed or high-load applicationsMachine parts and components in harsh environments where temperature and wear resistance are needed.

Ketron® HPV Polyetheretherketone PEEK shapes, a carbon fiber reinforced, graphite and PTFE lubricated material that offers the lowest coefficient of friction and the best machinability of all PEEK materials. This black-colored material is designed for applications where low wear and friction, and high pressure-velocity capabilities are needed.
