VICTREX™ WG101 (Polyaryletherketone)

High performance thermoplastic material, PolyArylEtherKetone (PAEK), reinforced with wear additives, semi crystalline, granules for injection moulding, easy flow, FDA food contact compliant, colour black. WG101 does not contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), other halogenated additives or talc. Tribological applications with thin cross sections or long flow lengths, with higher strength and stiffness. Excellent wear resistance, very low coefficient of friction and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Chemically resistant to aggressive environments.
