Victrex PEEK 450GL30 Properties and Datasheet<\/h2>\n

Victrex PEEK 450GL30 is a semi-crystalline PEEK containing 30% glass fiber. Its stiffness and directional shrinkage are relevant when selecting a resin for loaded components. The values below are material comparison data; they do not establish the allowable load or dimensional tolerance of a finished part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Par\u00e1metro Mec\u00e1nico\/T\u00e9rmico<\/th>\nNominal Value \/ Test Condition<\/th>\nHow to Interpret the Result<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Rigidez Estructural<\/td>\nM\u00f3dulo de Tracci\u00f3n 11,500 MPa \/ Resistencia a la Flexi\u00f3n 275 MPa<\/td>\nTensile modulus is measured at 23\u00b0C under ISO 527-1; flexural stress is measured under ISO 178. Deflection still depends on geometry, temperature, fiber orientation and loading time. Check creep and fatigue separately for sustained or cyclic loads.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Deflexi\u00f3n T\u00e9rmica (HDT)<\/td>\n328\u00b0C at 1.8 MPa, unannealed (ISO 75-2\/Af)<\/td>\nHDT is a short-duration test under a specified load. It is not a continuous operating-temperature rating or a guarantee against deformation in service.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Expansi\u00f3n T\u00e9rmica Lineal<\/td>\nCLTE along flow: 18 ppm\/K below 143\u00b0C (ISO 11359-2)<\/td>\nExpansion is directional. Check the actual flow pattern and temperature range when designing fits or seals; a flow-direction value alone cannot predict the movement of an entire molded part.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n

Application Screening: What Must Be Verified<\/h2>\n

Assess grade suitability against the drawing and operating environment. The following checks help identify the application tests required before committing to tooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Candidate Application<\/th>\nQuestions Before Selecting the Grade<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Componentes Estructurales Aeroespaciales<\/td>\nWhat are the load direction, temperature and fatigue requirements? Evaluate weld-line location, fiber orientation and part-level qualification before specifying a structural bracket.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Empaques de fondo de pozo para petr\u00f3leo y gas<\/td>\nSpecify pressure, media, exposure time and mating surfaces. Chemical compatibility, creep and sealing performance require application testing; a resin datasheet cannot establish a pressure rating.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bandejas de manipulaci\u00f3n de semiconductores<\/td>\nConfirm contamination, outgassing, electrostatic and thermal-cycling limits. Do not infer low-outgassing or ESD compliance from glass reinforcement alone.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n

Injection Molding: Shrinkage, Drying and Mold Temperature<\/h2>\n

The process window must be established for the actual tool and machine. The manufacturer settings below are starting points for trials, not a validated production recipe for every geometry.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Control del desgaste abrasivo de herramientas<\/p>\n

Glass reinforcement can increase wear at gates, runners and other high-flow regions. Review tool steel, surface treatment and replaceable wear features against the expected volume and maintenance plan. A fixed hardness or coating cannot guarantee tool life for every part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gesti\u00f3n de Contracci\u00f3n Anisotr\u00f3pica y Alabeo<\/p>\n

The March 2026 Victrex datasheet lists 0.30% shrinkage along flow and 0.90% across flow under ISO 294-4, using a 385\u00b0C nozzle and 190\u00b0C tool. These are test-specimen results. Gate position, wall transitions and packing change local fiber orientation and shrinkage, so cavity allowances require mold-flow review and measurements from trial parts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mold Temperature and Crystallization<\/p>\n

Victrex lists a typical mold-temperature range of 180\u2013200\u00b0C. Choose a heating system rated for the required temperature and check cavity-surface uniformity. Cooling history affects crystallization and dimensions; validate the actual process instead of relying only on the controller setpoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Protocolo Extendido de Pre-Secado con Desecante<\/p>\n

The manufacturer specifies drying at 150\u00b0C for 3 hours or 120\u00b0C for 5 hours, with residual moisture below 0.02%. Confirm dryer performance and resin handling before molding. Measure residual moisture before trials and record the resin lot, drying history and handling conditions for repeat production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Information Needed for a 450GL30 Molding Review<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Part requirements:<\/strong> Supply the drawing, CAD model, critical dimensions, datums and load direction. Identify sustained loads and expected service life.<\/li>\n
  • Service conditions:<\/strong> Define the temperature range, chemical exposure, pressure and any sterilization or thermal cycling. Explain how acceptance will be tested.<\/li>\n
  • Procurement and validation:<\/strong> State the quantity, exact resin grade and color, traceability requirements and inspection documentation. Agree on trial-part validation before approving production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
