A PEKK-based FDM 3D Printing Material with High Chemical and Heat Resistance
Stratasys Antero 800NA is a PEKK-based (polyetherketoneketone) thermoplastic 3D printing material that combines both FDM design freedom and ease of use. This material holds outstanding mechanical properties, along with low outgassing characteristics of PEKK material making it ideal for use in aircraft, space and manufacturing applications.
Overview
Antero™ 800NA is a PEKK-based (polyetherketoneketone) FDM thermoplastic. With high-performance material which is highly chemical resistant, Antero 800NA holds extremely low outgassing properties and exhibits high heat resistance, making it fit perfectly for aircraft and aerospace applications.
Combining PEKK-based thermoplastic and FDM design freedom gives users the ease of use, with excellent mechanical properties and low outgassing characteristics of PEKK material.
Material Performance
FDM Antero™ 800NA gives new opportunities for chemical resistant 3D printed parts. A majority of thermoplastics tend to fail when they come in contact with fuel, hydraulic fluids, or other chemicals. However, FDM Antero™ 800NA, a PEKK proprietary blend, solves these challenges with excellent mechanical properties and the highest chemical resistance available.
