Résumé : |
Ultra high performance polymers such as polyaryletherketones (PAEK) are typically not thermoformable for thick gauge applications because of their semi-crystalline nature. Specially developed PEKK grades now allow processing in this method. These can be used to produce large semi-crystalline PAEK parts with large wall thickness exhibiting extreme mechanical, chemical and flame retardant properties. |
Note de contenu : |
- Challenges for PEAK thermforming
- ESCR test shows high chemical resistance
- Lighter and cheaper PEKK components
- Fig. 1 : PEKK copolymers contain both terephthalic (T) and isophthalic (I) monomers. The ratio and distribution of the monomers significantly determines the properties of the plastics
- Fig. 2 : Amorphous PEKK sheet : to thermoform PAEK components, sheets or films must first be extruded that remain amorphous even at a thickness of several millimeters
- Fig. 3 : Amorphous thermoformed PEKK final part
- Fig. 4 : Results of an ESCR test after one week of full immersion at room temperature and a load of 40MPa at 1.1% strain : semi-crystalline PEEK has the best chemical resistance of all polymers
- Fig. 5 : Semi-crystalline thermoformed PEKK part. The process allows the production of highly chemical-resistant components at lower costs
- Fig. 6 : Semi-crystalline thermoformed PEKK electronic tray |
