PEEK OPTIMA™ Ha Enhanced (Filament)

PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced LT120HA FIL 1.75mm

High performance thermoplastic material, PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) as semi crystalline filament with hydroxyapatite content for Additive Manufacture by filament fusion and other melt extrusion 3D printing processes. Colour natural/beige.

Typical Application Areas
Filament Fusion Additive Manufacture of printed parts. Suitable for use in the 3D printing of long-term implantable medical devices. Excellent sterilisation resistance. Product supplied vacuum packed and dry when produced. As PEEK is hygroscopic, drying before use is recommended. This product is based on PEEK-OPTIMA™ LT120HA.
