Product Description

PEKK is a semi crystalline thermoplastic from the PAEK family, commonly used in extreme operating environments. It has similar performance as PEEK which has excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties that are retained to high temperatures, but relatively easier to print than PEEK due to its lower rate and degree of crystallinity.

It is often used in demanding applications such as aerospace, automotive and chemical industries.

1. Extreme Operating Environments:

   • PEKK, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic from the PAEK family, is commonly chosen for applications in extreme operating environments. Its robust properties make it suitable for challenging conditions.

2. Performance Similar to PEEK:

   • PEKK shares performance characteristics with PEEK, offering excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties. These qualities are retained even at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications requiring resilience in harsh conditions.

3. Ease of 3D Printing Compared to PEEK:

   • In comparison to PEEK, PEKK is relatively easier to 3D print due to its lower rate and degree of crystallinity. This makes it a more accessible option for manufacturing processes, contributing to its use in various industries.

4. Demanding Applications:

   • PEKK finds applications in demanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, and the chemical sector. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions and maintain performance makes it a preferred choice for critical components in these sectors.
