PEEK-OPTIMA Reinforced LT1CA30PL22 Plate

High performance biocompatible thermoplastic material, 30% carbon fibre reinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), semi crystalline. Plate for machining, for use in long term human implantation. Colour black.

Typical Application Areas
For use in applications requiring high strength, high stiffness, and high ductility. Suitable for use in long-term implantable medical devices. Excellent sterilisation resistance. As PEEK is hygroscopic, drying before use is recommended. Further information is available upon request.

This grade combines the biocompatibility of PEEK with the high strength and stiffness of carbon fiber. It is specifically designed for applications requiring higher strength or stiffness.
