PEEK CF30
Polymer / filler family, not a unique commercial grade. The cited named product is an example only.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
Short carbon fiber changes stiffness, heat conduction and directionality. A CF30 stock shape is not a continuous-fiber laminate or a PVX compound containing several different fillers.
- Designation in this reference
- PEEK with nominal 30% carbon-fiber reinforcement
- Forms covered by the sources
- Stock-shape rod / plate; confirm supplier process and dimensions
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Exact compound, color and additives recorded
- Extruded / molded route and stress relief recorded
- Temperature and exposure
- Melting point, glass-transition temperature, heat-deflection test and long-term service rating are different quantities. Use a grade-specific value with its load, duration and test conditions.

Read the scope above: a source’s related product name is not a blanket interchangeability statement.
Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.
Resolve these conditions next
- Which manufacturer, exact grade, filler fraction and stock form are specified?
- What moisture conditioning, direction, test method and service temperature apply?
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.
Sources and what they establish
Reviewed 23 October 2026. A source’s publication date and the review date are different. The scope below identifies the fields checked.
Ensinger TECAPEEK CF30 black
Specific carbon-fiber-filled PEEK product; not injection-molded TECAPEEK IM CF30 or continuous-fiber composite data.
Ensinger TECAPEEK CF30 black ↗Source identity, a named product example and a supplied-batch certificate are different evidence. Cross-standard similarity does not approve substitution.
Corrections from the previous article
- Remove the unsupported 8% machinability and universal M103 hardness.
- Do not mix injection-molded IM CF30 values with extruded CF30 stock shapes.
