Ensinger's TECAFIL PEKK natural filament is based on the polymer polyether ketone ketone and belongs to the group of PAEK filaments. PAEK plastics are high-performance plastics and have many advantageous properties. Developed on the basis of ARKEMA Kepstan® 6000 series raw material, TECAFIL PEKK natural has excellent flame retardant properties, enables low smoke emission and is one of the strongest unreinforced filaments on the market.
PEKK filament can be printed amorphously and is optimised for 3D printing due to its polymer structure. While both PEEK and PEKK offer unique application benefits, PEKK filaments can be easier to process than PEEK due to the polymer structure. We can advise you on the right filament for your application.
PEKK filaments are suitable for a wide range of applications due to their many beneficial properties. Components that require low weight with high strength can benefit from this high performance filament. Excellent flame retardancy and low smoke emission, good electrical insulation properties and good chemical resistance complete the profile of this high performance filament.
TECAFIL PEKK filament is suitable for use in most industrial printers. 3D printed PEKK components can be used continuously at temperatures of 200°C and for short periods up to 230°C. All information on material properties and processing parameters can be found on the product detail page.
TECAFIL PEKK components can also be manufactured at Ensinger on request. For more information on 3D printing of PEKK at Ensinger, please click here:
