Solvay PEEK Laminates
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyketone; Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
Material Notes:	Description: Cytec Engineered Materials PEKK composites consist of a matrix of poly(ether-ketone-ketone) polymer with aligned, continuous unidirectional fiber reinforcement. Typical fiber contents are 50 – 60% by volume. The tapes and ribbons are fully impregnated with a tailored fiber-matrix interface for optimal performance. Cytec also supplies custom laminates made from the tapes. The polymer is semi-crystalline with a Tg of 318°F (159°C).* The composites have good structural performance at temperatures in excess of 250°F (121°C). PEKK composites can be used in lightly loaded applications at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) due to the semi-crystalline nature of the polymer. PEKK composites possess outstanding flame, smoke and toxicity performance. They also have high toughness and damage tolerance. Laminates and parts can be fabricated from PEKK using a wide range of techniques including autoclave and press molding. Prepregs are offered in various grades of PEKK polymer optimized for select manufacturing methods. Information is available upon request for additional grades of PEKK to use in injection molding, sheet, film or fabric composites. Features & Benefits: Semi-crystalline, thermoplastic matrix Fully impregnated, unidirectional tape, ribbon and slit tape Tg of 318°F (159°C)* Service temperature of 257°F (125°C) for structural applications; up to 400°F (204°C) in certain applications Structural properties High toughness and damage tolerance Manufacture parts using affordable non-autoclave processes Outstanding FST1 and OSU2 heat release properties Good resistance to a wide range of fluid environments Low moisture uptake, < 0.3 wt%3 Indefinite shelf life at room temperature Recyclable Applications: Typical applications for Cytec Engineered Materials PEKK prepregs include aircraft structure, space components and other transportation and structural engineering components Information provided by Cytec, subsequently acquired by Solvay.
