Material: PEEK Carbon Filled- Ketron® PEEK CA30

30% carbon fibre reinforced grade combines even better mechanical properties than PEEK GF30 with an optimum wear resistance. The carbon fibres also provide a 3.5 times higher thermal conductivity than unreinforced PEEK - dissipating heat from the bearing surface faster.
