KetaSpire® | AvaSpire® - PEEK from SOLVAY  EPIC Polymers has entered into a strategic cooperation with SOLVAY for marketing and Compounding of KetaSpire® (PEEK) and AvaSpire® (modified PEEK). This range of polymers excels by combining outstanding chemical resistance, excellent mechanical and tribological performance and unrivalled thermal stability up to 300 °C. These products are used in high performance applications in such diverse areas as the aerospace industry, the automotive industry and medical applications. KetaSpire® - key properties  HDT up to 315 °C  excellent long term thermo-oxydative stability  continuous use temperature of 240 °C  excellent chemical resistance against, acids, baeses, hot water and steam and solvents  inherently flame retardant and low smoke density  excellent dimensional stability  excellent creep resistance  broad processing range Actual standard compounds  Virgin powders for compounding  KT-820P low melt flow  KT-820FP fine powder for compression molding  KT-880P high melt flow broschures  Unreinforced grades  KT-820 NT low melt flow  KT-850 NT intermediate melt flow  KT-880 NT high melt flow  Reinforced grades  KT-820 GF30 30% Glass fiber, low melt flow  KT-880 GF30 30% Glass fiber, high melt flow  KT-820 CF30 30% Carbon fiber, low melt flow  KT-880 CF30 30% Carbon fiber, high melt flow  Wear resistant grades  KT-820 SL30 very good wear resistance, dry and lubricated  KT-820 SL45 very good wear resistance, lubricated AvaSpire® AvaSpire® modified polyetheretherketone (PEEK) grades are specifically formulated to meet specific application requirements. These formulations capitalize on PEEK's distinctive performance attributes, with some grades offering more attractive economics.  Unreinforced grades  AV-650 better ductility, more cost effective than PEEK  AV-651 better chemical resistance than AV-650  AV-621 low flow version of AV-651  Reinforced grades  AV-621 GF30 AV-621 with 30% glass fiber  AV-621 CF30 AV-621 with 30% carbon fiber  AV-650 GF30 AV-650 with 30% glass fiber  AV-651 GF30 AV-651 with 30% glass fiber  AV-651 CF30 AV-651 with 30% carbon fiber  AV-750 GF40 high stiffness, cost effective, 40% glass fiber  AV-848 GF30 high temperature, 30% glass fiber  AV-848 CF30 high temperature, 30% carbon fiber  Wear resistant grades  AV-755 SL45 very good wear resistance, lubricated, more cost effective than PEEK  Depending on the exact application, the properties of KetaSpire® can be further modified to optimize the performance. Tribological systems developed specifically for KetaSpire® allow the used for wear and friction applications under extreme temperature conditions.For specific applications or datasheet requests, please contact EPIC Polymers Ltd.
