Product Description
KetaSpire KT-820 GF30 is a medium flow, 30% glass fiber reinforced grade of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). This resin offers higher strength and stiffness properties relative to unreinforced KetaSpire PEEK resin. Reinforcement also affords greater mechanical robustness in structural applications, particularly those with service temperatures approaching 300°C.

KetaSpire PEEK is produced to the highest industry standards and is characterized by a distinct combination of best-in-class fatigue resistance, ease of melt processing, high purity, and excellent chemical resistance to organics, acids, and bases.

These properties make it well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, electronics, chemical processing, and other industrial uses.
