VESTAKEEP® Easy Slide I is a carbon fiber-reinforced, wear and friction modified polyether ether ketone for injection molding. The semi-crystalline polymer features superior, thermal and chemical resistance. Parts made from VESTAKEEP® Easy Slide I are flame resistant and can be used for bearing bushing or gearbox parts due to the self-lubricating effect. VESTAKEEP® Easy Slide I can be processed by common machines for thermoplastics. The manufacturer recommends a melt temperature between 380°C and 400°C during the injection molding process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 160°C to 200°C, preferably 180°C. VESTAKEEP® Easy Slide I is supplied as granules in 25 kg boxes with moisture-proof polyethylene liners. Inside the original and undamaged packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
