Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers) KetaSpire® XT-920 FP PEEK
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyketone; Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)

Material Notes: KetaSpire® XT-920 FP is a natural color grade of the industry's first true high-temperature PEEK supplied in a fine powder form suitable for compression molding. The PEEK designation is based on the 2:1 ratio of ether-to-ketone functional groups in the polymer backbone.

The material provides the exceptional chemical resistance of PEEK along with a 20°C (36°F) higher glass transition temperature and a 45°C (81°F) higher melting temperature than standard PEEK. This increase in thermal performance allows engineers to achieve higher mechanical strength for components used in higher temperature and higher pressure operating environments. KetaSpire® XT also provides a significant improvement in electrical properties.

Although other high-temperature polyketones exhibit thermal properties on par with KetaSpire® XT, their chemical resistance is significantly inferior to standard PEEK and KetaSpire® XT. The material's unique combination of properties makes KetaSpire® XT well-suited for applications in oil and gas, transportation, electronics, chemical processing, and other industrial uses.

KetaSpire® XT-920 is also available in a natural-color pellet form for injection molding and extrusion.

Applications: Aircraft Applications; Automotive Applications; Connectors; Electrical/Electronic Applications; Film; Gears; Housings; Industrial Applications; Oil/Gas Applications; Pump Parts; Seals; Tubing; Wire & Cable Applications

Features: Chemical Resistant; Ductile; Fatigue Resistant; Flame Retardant; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Impact Resistance; High Heat Resistance; Radiotranslucent; Steam Resistant

Listed properties determined from injection molded specimens.

Injection notes: Back Pressure: minimum
