Product Description
KetaSpire KT-820FP is the low-flow grade of unreinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) supplied in a natural-color fine powder form suitable for compression molding.

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.

The resin is also available as KetaSpire KT-820 NT in a natural-color pellet form for injection molding and extrusion.
