PEEK CF30 Ultimate

PEEK CF30 Ultimate (30% carbon fibre) offers the same characteristics as VICTREX™ PEEK 450G™ with additional performance benefits. For example, PEEK CF30 Ultimate provides high mechanical strength and rigidity when compared to VICTREX™ PEEK 450G™. The material displays even higher creep resistance, and the dimensional stability of the plastic is also very high. The expansion of the product under any change in temperature is low.

The plastic will require tipped tooling during machining due to its carbon fibre reinforcement. As with all our Ultimate plastic products, Smiths High Performance provides material which gives racing car team designers enhanced options which would otherwise be unavailable.

Material Benefits

CF30 offers excellent performance characteristics. which include:

  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • High mechanical strength and rigidity
  • Very high dimensional stability
  • Higher creep resistance
  • Low abrasion due to fibre particle size
  • Higher heat conductivity/dissipation

Motorsport Applications

Applications for PEEK CF30 Ultimate include:

  • Barrel throttle for controlling airflow
  • Thrust washers
  • Heat resistant front-end accessory drives (FEAD)
  • Seals for mechatronic and lubrication systems
  • Valve components
  • Electrical components
  • Chassis components
