General Info

BOETEK™ PEEK IM 5020 is a bearing-grade carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material. It is available in injection molded tubes in a wide range of sizes. It offers improved dimensional stability, a higher modulus, enhanced mechanical strength, and greater resistance to deformation under load compared to unfilled Virgin PEEK.

The carbon fibers help increase the thermal conductivity to over three and a half times that of unfilled virgin PEEK, allowing for quicker heat dissipation.

Tribological Wear Testing

Wear Rate (PV: 20K psi-fpm) per ASTM D3702 = 4.08 μin/min

It is commonly used for backup rings, bearings, bushings, pump and valve components, pump case wear rings, seals, and thrust washers.

BOETEK™ PEEK IM 5020 30% Carbon Filled

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
