Ketron HPV PEEK is an internally lubricated grade of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) that retains the base polymer's high temperature and chemical resistance while offering improved tribological properties. Its proprietary additive package delivers a low coefficient of friction of 0.15 and a continuous service temperature up to 250 °C, making it a dependable choice for demanding sliding-contact applications.
Dotmar supplies Ketron HPV PEEK in rod and sheet formats and supports precision machining and fabrication to meet specific component requirements. This material is often selected for bearings, bushings and seals where reduced wear and extended service intervals are critical.
Key Features
- Continuous service temperature up to 250 °C
- Low temperature capability down to -20 °C
- Low coefficient of friction: 0.15
- High chemical resistance
- High tensile strength (78)
- Available in rod and sheet stock
Ketron HPV PEEK is used in bearing, bushing, thrust washer and seal components across industries including automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, and general engineering. Its self-lubricating nature makes it particularly effective in dry-running or marginally lubricated environments where maintenance access is limited.
