Zellamid® 1500 X

PEEK, brown / black

Two parallel beige cylindrical rods resting on a flat rectangular base, isolated on a white background.

ZELLAMID® 1500 X PEEK is a high-temperature resistant thermoplastic and, with a glass transition temperature of around 150 °C and a melting temperature of about 340 °C, belongs to the high-performance plastics category.

PEEK is one of the most powerful thermoplastics worldwide and is used in applications where extreme requirements for temperature, mechanical, and chemical stress are placed. The material is a highly durable alternative to fluoropolymers with significantly less wear. It is a material that exhibits excellent tribological properties.

ZELLAMID® 1500 XT - black
10% carbon fiber, 10% graphite, 10% PTFE

Exceptionally good tribological properties combined with high wear resistance and a very low coefficient of friction make this material the ideal solution for heavily stressed plain bearing applications.

ZELLAMID® 1500 XGF30 - brown
30% Glass Fiber

This glass fiber reinforced type significantly reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion compared to unreinforced PEEK while simultaneously increasing the modulus of elasticity. Ideal for applications requiring high stiffness, static load, and improved dimensional stability at temperatures above 150 °C.
