Made using Arkema Kepstan PEKK (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) and state of the art conductive additives, this ESD PEKK-A is one of the highest-performance polymers in world and ideal for demanding applications. This filament was created for the highest-spec situations where tightly controlled static dissipation, thermal properties, and mechanical performance properties are required. Target surface resistance: 10⁴-10⁹ Ohm
Benefits of 3DXSTAT ESD-PEKK-A
- Substantially easier to print than PEEK, made using 50/40 type PEKK copolymer known as PEKK-A
- High thermal properties with a Tg of 162C, HDT of 150C, and Tm of 305C
- Inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing
- Long-term hydrolytic stability making it ideal for steam and autoclave environments
- Excellent dimensional stability with low heat creep, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, and highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
- Exceptional strength and modulus, even at high 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
Print Recommendations
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
