KetaSpire® KT-890 is an ultra high flow grade of unreinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) supplied in pellet form. This grade has been designed for injection molding applications requiring very low melt viscosity to allow good filling and packing of thin-walled or long flow length parts.
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-890 can be easily processed using typical injection molding processes. This resin is also available as KT-890P in a natural-color coarse powder form for compounding.
Pellets of KT-890 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 ultra high flow KetaSpire® is available as KT-890 NL.
