KetaSpire® KT-880 is a high flow grade of unreinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) supplied in pellet form. KetaSpire® PEEK is produced to the highest industry standards and is characterized by a distinct combination of properties, which include excellent wear resistance, best-in-class fatigue resistance, ease of melt processing, high purity and excellent chemical resistance to organics, acids and bases.
These properties make it well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, electronics, chemical processing and other industrial uses. KetaSpire® KT-880 NT can be easily processed using typical injection molding processes. This resin is also available as KT-880P in a natural-color coarse powder form for compounding.
Pellets of KT-880 are supplied lightly dusted with the lubricant calcium stearate (0.01% level) to aid with pellet conveyance in plastication screws. The equivalent unlubricated natural color grade of high flow KetaSpire® is available as KT-880 NL.
