PEEK CF5 is a carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite material.

Composition of PEEK CF5:

– It consists of a PEEK matrix, which is a high-performance thermoplastic with excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength.
– The material contains 5% carbon fiber, which enhances its mechanical properties and provides additional strength and stiffness.

Performance Characteristics:

– Enhanced mechanical properties: The addition of carbon fiber significantly increases the tensile strength, compressive strength, and flexural strength of the material. It also improves the modulus of elasticity, making it more rigid and less prone to deformation.
– Improved thermal stability: PEEK CF5 has a higher heat deflection temperature compared to pure PEEK, allowing it to maintain its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
– Enhanced chemical resistance: The composite material inherits the excellent chemical resistance of PEEK, making it resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents.
– Low coefficient of thermal expansion: This property helps to reduce dimensional changes due to temperature fluctuations, ensuring better dimensional stability in various applications.
– Good electrical insulation: PEEK CF5 has good electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in the electrical and electronics industry.

Applications:

– Aerospace industry: Used in aircraft components such as brackets, ducts, and fasteners, where high strength and lightweight materials are required.
– Automotive industry: Applied in engine parts, transmission components, and structural parts to improve performance and reduce weight.
– Medical industry: Suitable for manufacturing implants and surgical instruments due to its biocompatibility and mechanical strength.
– Industrial applications: Used in pumps, valves, and other mechanical parts that require high wear resistance and chemical resistance.

PEEK CF5 is a high-performance composite material that combines the excellent properties of PEEK and carbon fiber. It offers enhanced mechanical properties, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries.

In the field of high-end medical equipment, a new type of medical imaging device has attracted the attention of the industry. Its key component adopts PEEK CF5 composite material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material.

PEEK CF5 has excellent mechanical properties and high temperature resistance. This component needs to withstand certain pressure and high temperature environment during the operation of the equipment. The high strength of PEEK CF5 ensures the stability of the component and will not deform even after long-term operation. Its tensile strength is as high as 150 MPa, the bending strength is 200 MPa, and the elastic modulus reaches 10 GPa. When the environmental temperature of the component may be as high as 80 °C, the characteristic that PEEK CF5 can still maintain good performance at this high temperature and the long-term service temperature can reach 260 °C provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the equipment.

This material has excellent chemical stability and can resist the erosion of various disinfectants. Even after frequent disinfection treatment, there will be no performance degradation. This makes the equipment still maintain reliable performance in a frequently disinfected medical environment. With the excellent characteristics of PEEK CF5, this medical imaging device provides more accurate and stable guarantee for medical diagnosis.

Different manufacturers’ carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have their respective focuses on performance. Meanwhile, the performance of carbon fiber reinforced modified thermoplastic composites will be different due to factors such as different matrix resins, carbon fiber content and types, and production processes.
