Deep Draw Thermoforming of Semi-crystalline PAEKs

Abstract

We will discuss an overview of the Kepstan® PEKK copolymer range including how the tunable crystallization range enables new processing methods. Deep draw forming of semi-crystalline PEKK process and equipment requirements. Chemical resistance and environmental stress cracking resistance of amorphous PEKK, semi-crystalline PEKK, and a range of other high performance polymers.
