Back to LSG Peek

ISO 9001:2015 Certified

PEEK-GF30 LSG blue stock shapes are produced from genuine PEEK polymer. This 30% glass fiber reinforced grade combines higher stiffness and creep resistance than PEEK LSG with a much better dimensional stability. PEEK-GF30 LSG blue stock shapes have also been successfully type tested for their compliance with both United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and ISO 10993-1 guideline requirements for Biocompatibility Testing of Materials, and they come with full traceability from resin to stock shape. These features, added to an excellent sterilizability by means of steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide, plasma and gamma irradiation, make PEEK-CA30 LSG stock shapes very suitable for applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets.

Features:

  • 30% glass fiber reinforced
  • Higher stiffness & creep resistance than LSG PEEK
  • Greater dimensional stability
  • USP Class VI & ISO 10993-1 compliant
  • Full traceability from resin to stock shape
  • Excellent sterilizability by steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide, plasma & gamma irradiation
  • Implantable-grade
  • Better machinability compared to stainless steel and other materials
