Ensinger TECATEC™ CF60 Polyaryletherketone (PAEK)

TECATEC™ CF60 plate is a composite of 60% woven carbon fiber laminated with a polyaryl ether ketone resin (PAEK). It is produced in a proprietary process yielding good fibre and resin integration. PAEK resins are excellent for repeated steam sterilization cycles and carbon provides metal like dimensional stability and stiffness. Carbon fibre composites are radiolucent and are ideal for external fixation devices and surgical instruments such as targeting fixtures and retractor blades. It is commonly used in medical technology (surgery, orthopaedics) and is used as targeting guides, retractor blades, fixturing assemblies, and structural components.PropertiesOutstanding strengthExcellent heat distortionGood dimensional stabilityLow moisture absorptionCorrosion resistanceExcellent chemical resistanceExcellent steam sterilization in autoclave performanceInformation Provided by Ensinger Industries, Inc.
