Successful PEEK Plant Startup in Panoli
|
With the successful start-up of its 500 ton/year production unit in Panoli, India, Solvay now delivers KetaSpire® PEEK and AvaSpire® PAEK – two ultra polymers that offer best-in-class chemical resistance and mechanical properties, plus ease of processing.
Resins from this world-class facility, which is scalable to double capacity, give design engineers lighter, stronger and better performing alternatives to costly metals and ceramics. More
