WORKS WITH:
PEKK
Polyether Ketone Ketone
Is a high technology material with superior resistance to chemicals and high use temperature, combined with outstanding mechanical strength and low flammability for extreme performance.
While PEEK is a most commonly used material, PEKK has an inverse molecular structure with 2 Ketones and 1 Ether, this combination improves the material flexibility and provides a higher glass transition point.
Smart3D Macro provides a complete solution for manufacturing with this high-performance material, preserving its high-temperature glass transition point throughout the 3D printing process.
MAIN FEATURES:
- Outstanding resistance to chemicals and harsh working conditions.
- Exceptional mechanical strength properties.
- Highly dielectric with good insulating properties.
- Since PEKK is inherently flame retardant, it has excellent combustion resistance properties and low level of smoke generation.
- Compared to PEEK, PEKK offer higher temperature performance, higher compression strength, and better wear-rate control.
- Easier to print than PEEK
SOME APPLICATIONS:
- Mainly used in transportation, aeronautics, mining, and gas & oil industries.
- Used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and drilling industries as a lightweight alternative to metal parts.
- Tooling and fixtures.
