With a significantly reduced thermal expansion, optimum load carrying capabilities, and high thermal conductivity rates, Ketron® Sterra™ CA30 PEEK components are often favored for their ability to extend part life and rapidly dissipate heat in bearing applications. As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, this material contains recycled content and exhibits a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.

TIVAR® Sterra™ DrySlide UHMW-PE is an internally lubricated product. This lubricant is built into the PE-UHMW matrix with a higher molecular weight. It offers a lower coefficient of friction and enhanced wear and abrasion resistance than TIVAR® 1000 PE-UHMW. The additives used also make this material static dissipative and considerably improves UV-resistance. As part of the Sterra™ product portfolio, this material contains recycled content and exhibits a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks.
