VULCAN PEKK-A - Flame Retardant & Chemical Resistance
The transformative power of fire
Key Features
- Superior Printability: Utilizing the PEKK 6000 series, this amorphous-grade filament exhibits a slow crystallisation rate and high flow, enhancing Z-layer strength and facilitating smoother FFF/FDM printing processes
- High Thermal Resistance: With a heat deflection temperature of up to 150°C, Vulcan PEKK-A maintains structural integrity under extreme conditions
- Lightweight and Strong: Offers high tensile strength while remaining lightweight, contributing to efficient and robust end-use parts.
