CarbonX™ CF PEKK-C (Aerospace)

CarbonX® CF-PEKK has a wider processing window than PEEK and typically prints with extruder temps between 360-390°C, whereas CF-PEEK often requires extruder temps above 400°C.  CarbonX™ PEKK has a lower rate and degree of crystallinity than PEEK, which aids in its ease of printing.  However, once printed and annealed, PEKK-C parts exhibit superior performance vs. both PEKK-A and PEEK.  Easier to print + superior performance!

CarbonX™ CF-PEKK product attributes include:

• This grade of PEKK is made using the 70/30 PEKK copolymer (PEKK-C)
• Toray® T800 24K Aerospace-Grade Chopped Carbon Fiber
• Substantially easier to print than PEEK
• Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) of 260°C, and higher for short duration
• Glass Transition Temp (Tg) of 162°C (20°C higher than PEEK)
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 335°C  (allows for lower print temps than PEEK)
• Inherent flame resistance
• Low smoke generation - ideal for aerospace applications
• Outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as those used in the oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and chemical processing industries
