Solvay and Entegris partner on nanotube-enhanced Peek
19/07/2010
Solvay Advanced Polymers is partnering with Entegris’s Tegotm Polymers unit to develop advanced carbon nanotube-enhanced Peek products for emerging applications in the medical, aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas industries
Alpharetta-based Solvay Advanced Polymers will supply its KetaSpire Peek resin to Entegris, which will sell compounds using its carbon nanotube technology. The compounds will target applications requiring weight reduction, enhanced stiffness and flexibility, thermal management, and static charge dissipation. Entegris has developed proprietary technology for the uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes into Peek and other thermoplastics to create homogeneous blends.
