LMPAEK™ polymers offer a compelling solution for composite manufacturing and the dynamic world of additive manufacturing (3D printing), providing similar high-performance qualities to VICTREX™ PEEK. With exceptional thermal capabilities and fire resistance, VICTREX LMPAEK™ polymer is perfectly suited for demanding applications. The offering of granules and powders enable seamless integration into various manufacturing processes, including 3D printing and composite manufacturing, delivering the processing benefits needed to create advanced, lightweight and much larger composite structures.
“We are thrilled to bring LMPAEK™ polymers fully into the market,” said Michael Koch, Managing Director-Sustainable Solutions. “Its performance in aerospace and additive manufacturing applications speaks for itself, and now, with the full commercial release of our granules and powders, we can provide manufacturers with a material that not only meets stringent industry requirements but also pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in lightweight, high-performance solutions.”
Victrex will be exhibiting their range of LMPAEK™ Granules and Powders at Fakuma from the 15 to 19 of October 2024 in Hall A4-Stand A4-4106 in Friedrichshafen.
Lower Melting Temperatures: Melts 40°C lower than VICTREX™ PEEK, enabling faster processing times in composite manufacturing, reduced energy consumption, and expanded manufacturing capabilities without sacrificing performance. Ideal for applications requiring precision and efficiency in both composite and additive manufacturing processes.
Wider Processing Window: The wider processing window enables manufacturers to work with a broader range of temperatures without sacrificing the material's mechanical properties or performance.
Redefining Advanced Manufacturing: LMPAEK™ polymers advance composite and additive manufacturing by offering high performance, easy processability, and design versatility, driving innovation across industries like aerospace and automotive.
Cost-Efficiency: Optimised for scalability and cost-effective production in high-volume manufacturing environments.
With Victrex’s expertise in polymer innovation and their commitment to advancing thermoplastic solutions, LMPAEK™ Polymers are poised to accelerate the adoption of lightweight, durable materials in both existing and new applications.
