Back to LSG Peek
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
This 30% carbon fiber reinforced grade combines even higher stiffness, mechanical strength, and creep resistance than LSG GF30 PEEK blue with an optimum wear resistance.
LSG CA30 PEEK stock shapes have also been successfully typed 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 LSG CA30 PEEK stock shapes very suitable for applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology markets.
Features:
- 30% carbon fiber reinforced
- Higher stiffness, mechanical strength & creep resistance than GF30 PEEK
- USP Class VI Complaint
- ISO 10993 Compliant
- Biocompatibility tested and certified
- Resistance to most common cleaning and sterilization methods
- Full traceability from raw material to stock shape
- Color coding possibilities
- Certification according to regulatory standards saves time for testing
- Lot traceability
- Better machinability compared to stainless steel and other materials
- Improved wear performance in unlubricated conditions
- Lower weight which leads to lower inertia forces
- X-ray transparency
- Design flexibility
- Anti-static
- Resistance to high energetic radiation
