Made using Arkema Kepstan® PEKK (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) and state of the art conductive additives, this ESD-safe PEKK is one of the highest-performance polymers in world and ideal for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, automotive, and electronics applications.  

Aerospace-Grade Performance.  This filament was created for the most demanding applications where tightly controlled static dissipation, thermal properties, mechanical performance, low outgassing, and chemical resistance properties are required.  

3DXSTAT™ ESD PEKK-A product attributes include:

• Made using the 60/40 type PEKK copolymer (PEKK-A)
• Substantially easier to print than PEEK
• Glass Transition Temp (Tg) of 162°C (20°C higher than PEEK)
• Heat distortion temperature (HDT) of 150°C
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 305°C  (allows for lower print temps than PEEK)
• 10^4 to 10^9ohm surface resistivity on 3DP sample using concentric ring test method
• Consistent surface resistivity and low particulate contamination
• Low outgassing - ideal for space related applications
• PEKK has inherent flame resistance
• Long-term hydrolytic stability in steam and autoclave environments
• Excellent dimensional stability (low creep and low/uniform coefficient of thermal expansion) allowing for highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
• Exceptional strength and modulus, even at elevated temperatures
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
• Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies
