PEEK GF30
Polymer / filler family, not a unique commercial grade. The cited named product is an example only.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
Glass-filled PEEK is a different compound from CF30. Compare within the same product form and test direction; the filler can matter to mating-surface wear.
- Designation in this reference
- PEEK with nominal 30% glass-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.

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 GF30 natural
Specific 30% glass-filled PEEK stock-shape identity, separate from spin/injection-molded variants.
Ensinger TECAPEEK GF30 natural ↗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 25% machinability rating and single M105 hardness.
- The old generic tensile figure does not identify molding route or orientation.
