A new range of polyether ketone ketone (PEKK) ultra-high-performance polymers is available. The line is comprised of three families of products whose properties reportedly meet the requirements of aerospace, oil exploration and electronics applications.
PEKK is a polymer for the extremes; in terms of mechanical resistance, it compares favorably with metals like aluminum. The Kepstan® range, developed by researchers at CERDATO, Arkema’s technical polymers research center, complements the group’s other advanced materials.
