    Solvay today announced the launch of a new grade of KetaSpire® PEEK, KT-850 SCF 30, designed for precision braking systems and electric vehicle electronic pump assemblies
    .

    Carbon fiber-filled PEEK is typically used for anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) components such as lifters, shrapnel, and plungers
    .
    The new KT-850 SCF 30 grade can further replace metal (aluminum) by improving the flow characteristics of the material and the surface finish of the part

    .

    The ABS/ESC plunger plays a key role in the functioning of the hydraulic unit of the system
    .
    The system combines an electronic pump, an electronic control unit (ECU), valves that control wheel brake pressure and sensors that measure wheel speed

    .
    The plunger is responsible for operating the movement of the valve by controlling the supply of brake fluid

    .

    Replacing metal with polymer plungers requires materials like KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30, which balances high performance properties including coefficient of friction, mechanical strength, dimensional tolerance control and sealing capabilities
    .

    Replacing aluminum in precision components such as ABS plungers can reduce overall costs and increase productivity
    .
    KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30 provides the fluidity required to fill parts, which are approximately 15mm in length, while also meeting the tight tolerances required for ABS/ESC plungers

    .
    The processability of KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30 is superior to that of existing materials, resulting in greatly increased throughput, improved surface finish, and better sealing and mechanical properties

    .

    “The new carbon-filled KetaSpire® PEEK grade comes at a critical time when manufacturers are looking to enhance sealing and mechanical performance
    .
    This means it is a true solution for the electric vehicle market and we are proud that it is our complete brake part of a high-performance solution for the system

    ,” said Brian Baleno, Head of Transportation Industry Marketing, Solvay Materials Division.
    Amodel® PPA for electric parking brake housings; Ryton® PPS for brake piston and valve housings, and Fomblin® PFPE for electric parking brake lubricants

    .

    As part of Solvay's One Planet sustainability commitment, the company uses 100% renewable electricity in the production of its PEEK, PPA and PPS base polymers in the U.
    S.
    and is the only company in the top 10 in the Solar Energy Industries Association rankings for solar User's manufacturing company
