Antero 840CN03
A PEKK-based material
Antero™ 840CN03 is a PEKK-based FDM thermoplastic combining the excellent physical and mechanical qualities of PEKK with electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties. The material is filled 3% by weight with carbon nanotubes.
As a high-performance polymer, Antero 840CN03 exhibits exceptional chemical and wear resistance, ultra-low outgassing properties and consistent ESD performance. ESD values range from 104 – 109 ohms per square inch. This makes the material particularly suitable for space and industrial applications where these qualities are critical.
Antero 840CN03 Material Properties
Behaviour and use
Main Uses
Produce prototypes and low volume, highly customized parts with consistent ESD (Electrostatic discharge safe) performance that are strong, temperature and chemical resistant, ultra-low outgassing, and with exceptional wear properties.
With a unique combination of material properties this material can be used in the most demanding of applications, such as aerospace, space, and oil and gas. Stronger, stiffer, higher use temperature, chemical resistance when compared to ABS.
Top Applications
- Aircraft components exposed to jet fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid
- Spacecraft parts that demand low outgassing
- Chemical-resistant industrial parts
