Product Description
AvaSpire AV-650 GF30 is a 30% glass fiber-reinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) that has been specifically formulated to provide a high degree of chemical resistance and higher mechanical strength and stiffness than unfilled AV-650 resin. This material can be repeatedly exposed to harsh chemicals and prolonged steam sterilization cycles without any significant loss of properties.

Potential applications for this resin include orthopedic and dental instruments, surgical power tool battery housings and other devices and components requiring a combination of high temperature performance and high environmental resistance.

AvaSpire AV-650 GF30 can be easily processed by typical injection molding and extrusion methods using standard equipment.
