CARBONX PEKK-A+CF15

[custom_html]

PEKK (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in world.  CarbonX® Carbon fiber reinforced PEKK-A has a wider processing window than PEEK and typically prints with extruder temps between 345-375°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 parts exhibit superior performance vs. PEEK.  Easier to print + superior performance!

CarbonX™ CF PEKK-A attributes include:

• This grade of PEKK is made using the 60/40 PEKK copolymer (PEKK-A)
• Reinforced with premium high-modulus chopped carbon fiber
• Substantially easier to print than PEEK
• Glass Transition Temp (Tg) of 160°C (~20°C higher than PEEK)
• Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) of 150°C
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 305°C  (allows for lower print temps than PEEK)
• Inherent flame resistance (base resin is UL rated V-0)
• Outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance
• Low smoke generation - ideal for aerospace applications
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as those used in the oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and chemical processing industries
