What is Natural PEEK Material

VESTAKEEP® 2000FC30 is a composite natural PEEK material launched by Evonik. It is based on the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) system and incorporates a triple filling formula of 10% PTFE, 10% carbon fiber and 10% graphite.

This structure endows the material with excellent wear resistance, lubrication and flame retardancy simultaneously, making it suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements for friction and temperature, such as automotive power systems, electronic and electrical components, mechanical bearings and gear parts.

01 | Performance analysis: Designed for stabilizing friction environments

Compared with ordinary PEEK, VESTAKEEP® 2000FC30 has significantly enhanced the following three performance aspects:

  ・Lubrication and wear resistance: The synergistic effect of PTFE and graphite significantly reduces the coefficient of friction, ensuring stable sliding even at high temperatures or during long-term operation.

  ・Structural strength and thermal stability: The addition of carbon fiber enhances the material's rigidity and dimensional stability, enabling it to maintain a good mechanical shape in environments above 300°C.

  ・Flame retardancy and electrical safety: Reaches UL94 V-0 grade, suitable for high-safety standard electronic devices and automotive electronic control modules.

For design projects that need to balance "wear resistance + flame retardancy + dimensional stability", this natural PEEK material provides a reliable basis for selection.

02 | Processing and application adaptation

VESTAKEEP® 2000FC30 adopts a medium viscosity system and can be processed by standard injection molding, featuring low shrinkage and high molding accuracy.

It still maintains good fluidity at high temperatures and is highly suitable for manufacturing parts with complex structures and precise fits.

In actual production, Juyuan can offer process optimization suggestions to help customers achieve more stable performance output in mold design and injection molding temperature control.

03 | Typical application fields

  ・Automotive industry: oil pump bearings, turbine components, transmission gears

  ・Electronic and electrical: high-temperature connectors, insulating brackets, sensor housings

  ・Industrial equipment: sliding bearings, valve bodies, friction rings, sealing rings

The common feature of these fields is that they need to withstand the triple challenges of friction, temperature and load for a long time, and natural PEEK material happens to have a balanced advantage in these three aspects.

05 | Industry Trend Insights

As mechanical structures tend to become more compact and lightweight, traditional metal parts are gradually being replaced by polymer engineering plastics.

The emergence of natural PEEK material makes this transformation more feasible: it not only reduces the weight, but also brings better performance in terms of lubricity, stability and electrical safety.

In the future, composite filled PEEK will play a more important role in new energy, medical, semiconductor and automation equipment.
