Thermoplastic pellets for filament extrusion
Kepstan® PEKK for filament extrusion
Kepstan® PEKK (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) is the latest addition to the PAEK (Poly-Aryl-Ether-Ketone) family, and is ideally suited for metal replacement thanks to its very high service temperature, chemical resistance, and excellent fire retardancy.

Kynar® PVDF for filament extrusion
Kynar® PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) resins are extremely resistant to harsh chemicals and UV radiation. They are known to be among the most durable polymers in the world. This tough semi-crystalline fluoropolymer, formulated for printability, benefits from outstanding Z-direction strength and ductility. Filaments made from Kynar® resins are particularly suited for early-stage prototyping or short-run manufacturing. Kynar® fluoropolymers are specified for printing chemical processing equipment, fluid transport parts, outdoor exposed elements, or jigs & fixtures.
