VESTAKEEP® 50001XT BK is a high viscosity, unreinforced, unlubricated polyether ether ketone for injection molding and extrusion and can be cross-linked after processing by heat treatment.
The semi-crystalline polymer features superior property retention at elevated temperatures combined with the chemical resistance of standard PEEK. Parts made from VESTAKEEP® 50001XT BK feature a very high resistance to creep.
VESTAKEEP® 50001XT BK can be processed by common machines for PEEK processing.
VESTAKEEP® 50001XT BK is supplied as granules in 25 kg boxes with moisture-proof polyethylene liners.
As VESTAKEEP® 50001XT BK is a reactive system we recommend low melt temperatures and short cycle times.
Inside the original and undamaged packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
The results shown have been generated from a low number of production lots. Therefore, they are preliminary and not yet the result of a statistical evaluation. Therefore they must not be used to establish specifications.
