Solvay Specialty Polymers AvaSpire® AV-621 Polyaryletherketone (PAEK)

AvaSpire® AV-621 is an unreinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) that offers improved ductility and impact strength relative to PEEK while retaining most of the key performance attributes of PEEK. The AV-621 grade is the low melt flow (higher molecular weight) analog of the medium flow grade AvaSpire® AV-651 that is tailored primarily for injection molding applications as well as film extrusion. AvaSpire® AV-621 resin is suited for a variety of processing methods including compression molding, stock shape extrusion, as well as injection molding.AV-621 has been formulated for applications requiring a balance of chemical resistance and mechanical strength along with good part aesthetics, thereby bridging the performance gaps within the ultra polymers space. These and other properties make this resin well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, semiconductor, electronics, chemical processing, and other industries.AvaSpire® AV-621 is easily fabricated using conventional thermoplastic melt processing techniques and standard equipment. The resin has a uniform opaque appearance with a beige color similar to that of PEEK.Features: Ductile; Fatigue Resistant; Flame Retardant; Good Chemical Resistance; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Impact Resistance; High Heat ResistanceUses: Bearings; Bushings; Connectors; Medical/Healthcare Applications; Oil/Gas Applications; Semiconductor Molding CompoundsInformation provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
