Antero 800NA
A PEKK-based material
Antero™ 800NA is a PEKK-based FDM® thermoplastic. It combines FDM’s design freedom and ease of use with the excellent strength, toughness and wear-resistant properties of PEKK material.
Antero 800NA exhibits high heat resistance, chemical resistance, low outgassing and dimensional stability, particularly in large parts. Antero 800NA is available on Fortus 450mc™ and Stratasys F900™ 3D Printers and is compatible with SUP8000B breakaway support material.
Antero 800NA Material Properties
Behaviour and use
Main Uses
Appropriate applications include aircraft components exposed to jet fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid, spacecraft parts that demand low outgassing and chemical-resistant industrial parts. Using Antero 800NA with FDM technology avoids the waste and design limitations associated with subtractive manufacturing of high-cost bulk PEKK material.
Top Applications
- Aircraft components exposed to jet fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid
- Spacecraft parts that demand low outgassing
- Chemical-resistant industrial parts

The information presented are typical values intended for reference and comparison purposes only. They should not be used for design specifications or quality control purposes. All values after “±” are standard deviations. End-use material performance can be impacted (+/-) by, but not limited to, part design, end-use conditions, test conditions, etc. Actual values will vary with build conditions. Tested parts were built on Fortus 450mc @ 0.010” (0.254 mm) slice. Fluids tested include Skydrol 500B-4, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), Toluene, Dichloromethane (DCM), Ethyl Acetate, and Jet-A aviation fuel. Product specifications are subject to change without notice. Ten samples were built on three different machines, resulting in 30 samples total used in each mechanical test in both the XZ and ZX orientations.
The performance characteristics of these materials may vary according to application, operating conditions or end use.
