Product Description
AvaSpire AV-621 CF30 is a 30% carbon fiber reinforced version of AvaSpire AV-621. It offers better dimensional stability and warp resistance than 30% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK. The AV-621 CF30 grade offers the highest strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance of any AV-621 based grade. Furthermore, this resin generally retains most of the desirable ultra-performance attributes of carbon fiber reinforced PEEK including chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, and long term thermal oxidative stability.

The excellent balance of properties of AV-621 CF30 makes this grade well suited for a broad range of applications across a number of industries, including healthcare, transportation, electronics, and chemical processing.

This resin can be easily melt processed by injection molding using standard equipment. The melt processing behavior of AV-621 CF30 is very similar to that of 30% CF reinforced PEEK. The lower melt flow of AV-621 CF30 is well suited for extrusion applications while offering a similar property profile to AV-651 CF30.
