KetaSpire® KT-851 NL

KetaSpire® KT-851 NL resin is a depth-filtered grade of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) supplied in non-lubricated, natural-color pellet form and is specially designed for use in extruded wire insulation coating. KT-851 NL offers the needed balance of properties and processability for applying thin insulation coatings onto copper or other conducting wire using a continuous extrusion process to achieve a robust insulation coating that is capable of withstanding the harsh use environments of many industrial applications.

KetaSpire® PEEK is produced to the highest industry standards and is characterized by a distinct combination of properties, which include excellent chemical resistance to organics, acids and bases, best in class fatigue resistance, excellent wear resistance, ease of melt processing and high purity.

A lubricated form of this resin is available as KT-851 in natural color (NT). The pellets in the lubricated versions are supplied with a very light dusting (0.01%) of calcium stearate to aid with conveying through single screw extruder-based processing equipment.
