Learn more about the key advantages and performance characteristics of Kepstan® PEKK below.
Kepstan® PEKK
Kepstan® PEKK is a high-performance polymer known for its thermal stability, chemical resistance, and exceptional strength. These qualities make it a great coating option for harsh environments where traditional materials may not suffice.
Its key performance properties include:
- Continuous use temperature ranging from 250°C to 260°C
- High tensile, compressive, and impact strength
- Inherently non-flammable with excellent fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) properties
- Resistance to a wide range of chemicals, such as those used in the aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries
- Good dielectric strength at high and ambient temperatures
- Exceptional barrier properties to gasses such as H2S and CO2
- Excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction (COF)
- High hardness and abrasion resistance
Kepstan® PEKK Powder Coatings: Semi-Crystalline vs. Amorphous
Kepstan® PEKK can be powder coated in both the semi-crystalline and amorphous state – the type you choose depends heavily on the intended application. Semi-crystalline coatings provide improved wear, chemical, and temperature resistance, making them the better choice for more demanding environments. Amorphous coatings, on the other hand, offer higher flexibility and better adhesion, making them well-suited for parts exposed to extreme thermal cycling.
Advantages of Kepstan® PEKK Coatings
Kepstan® PEKK offers a wide range of advantages that make it a popular coating choice for many industrial applications. These advantages include:
- Excellent Adhesion. Kepstan® PEKK easily adheres to metals with no primer required. It also offers good adhesion to composites and plastic materials.
- Versatile. Kepstan® PEKK coatings are highly versatile, with uses across several industries. Whether used to enhance critical aerospace parts, improve the corrosion resistance of oil and gas equipment, or improve the reliability of automotive components, these coatings provide the optimal solution.
- Adaptable. Kepstan® PEKK can be adapted to various processing methods, including powder coating, dipping, and spray coating. This allows for customizable application based on your specific requirements.
- Enhanced Performance. When used as a protective or functional coating, Kepstan® PEKK can achieve unparalleled durability, efficiency, and safety to improve the overall performance of your products.
