KEPSTAN^® 7003

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. Among the KEPSTAN® family, the 7000 Series benefits uniquely from PEKK crystalline capabilities while reducing significantly processing temperatures compared to the more crystalline 8000 Series. With a lower melting temperature and a Tg still above 160°C, the KEPSTAN® 7000 Series resins are very valued in all processes where a delayed or slower crystallization is key to ease thermoforming, to improve interlayer adhesion and to reduce internal stresses. They are for instance highly enabling in the field of continuous fiber composites for structural applications, and in filament additive manufacturing technologies with or without continuous fibers. KEPSTAN® 7000 Series includes a very low flow grade, KEPSTAN® 7001, a medium flow grade, KEPSTAN® 7002, and a high flow grade, KEPSTAN® 7003, all unfilled PEKK resins designed to meet the requirements of a broad range of melt processing technologies, including among others extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, fiber impregnation, composite consolidation and forming technologies, filament additive manufacturing. KEPSTAN® is available in pellet form as well as in flake and in powder form with different particle sizes. Standard packaging includes 20 kg boxes for pellets, 40kg drums for flakes and 10 kg boxes for powders.
