OXPEKK Pellet

  • Custom and standard compounds

  • Available fillers - carbon fiber, glass fiber, barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, colors, custom

Various small industrial components including black plastic pieces, white plastic pellets, gold-colored crystals, and a white marker with a paper roll on a light-colored surface.

OXPEKK Nanocoating

Scanning electron microscope image showing a close-up of a textured surface with some ridges and grooves, measuring approximately 5 micrometers in height and 6.3 millimeters in width.

OXPEKK powder coatings can be applied at micron and millimeter scale thicknesses to provide an ultra high-performance, abrasion resistant coating on any suitable substrate.

  • Conformal PEKK barrier

  • Corrosion resistant

  • Industrial & Biomedical applications

OXPEKK Powder Coating

Metal mechanical part with a threaded pipe and multiple bolts on a white surface

The world’s first aqueous PEKK coating technology. Applied by most standard methods, this coating can be deposited at nano- and micron-scale thickness

  • Patented, water-based PEKK solution castable as ultra-thin films that - when formed - have the full mechanical, thermal and biological properties of PEKK.

  • OXPEKK-SC film tenaciously bonds to most substrates and can be spray applied or dipped at thicknesses as low as 100nm.

  • Since OXPEKK®-SC is applied as a true solution; it enables the formation of ultra-thin, tightly adhered, contiguous layers of pure PEKK polymer.

advantages of OXPEKK

thermal characteristics

With a Tg of 163C and Tm of 360C, PEKK is highly suited to high temperature environments

chemical resistance

PEKK is one of the most chemically resistant thermoplastics on the planet

Mechanical strength

PEKK’s tensile strength (yield) of 136 MPa and compressive strength (207 MPa) make it the ideal replacement for metals in many applications

biological properties

PEKK has unique, bone-like mechanics and superior wear properties - all of the biological and biomechanical properties that make it the ideal replacement for bone

Co-polymer system

Unlike PEEK, we can alter the physical, chemical and thermal properties of PEKK to suit your application

Flame/radiation resistant

PEKK has a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and is near impervious to any amount of radiation
