KEPSTAN™ 8001

About
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 the wide range of PEKK copolymers within the KEPSTAN™ product range. KEPSTAN™ 8000 Series includes a low flow grade, KEPSTAN™ 8001, and a medium flow grade, KEPSTAN™ 8002, both 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, injection molding of thick or complex and thin-walled parts. KEPSTAN™ is available in pellet form and in powder form with different particle sizes. Standard packaging includes 20 kg boxes for pellets and 10 kg boxes for powders.&&
