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

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.
