KEPSTAN® 8001

Polyetherketoneketone pellet or flake
Product overview
KEPSTAN® is a high performance thermoplastic material, based on PolyEtherKetoneKetone (PEKK) highly stable chemical backbone. Its semi crystalline structure in solid state offers an outstanding combination of mechanical and thermal strength together with chemical and fire resistance. The 8000 Series offers the highest glass transition temperature and the highest degree of crystallinity, leading to the best tensile and compression strengths among both KEPSTAN® copolymers family and PAEK resins. KEPSTAN® 8000 Series includes a very low flow grade, KEPSTAN® 8001, a medium flow grade, KEPSTAN® 8002, and a high flow grade KEPSTAN® 8003, all unfilled pure PEKK resins designed to meet the requirements of a broad range of melt processing technologies, including among others extrusion of stock shapes, tubes, films, extrusion compression, compression molding, compounding, injection molding of thick or complex and thin-walled parts. KEPSTAN® is available in pellet form and as well as in flake. Standard packaging includes 20 kg boxes for pellets and 40 kg drums for flakes.
