SOLVAY Polyaryletherketone PAEK AvaSpire AV-742 SL30/AV-750 GF40/AV-755 SL45

AvaSpire® PAEK is a customized aromatic polyketone developed by Solvay to fill the cost and performance gap between PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and other high-performance polymers. Based on different resin melt flow rates, this series of products is divided into three product families: AV-600, AV-400 and AV-700, including pure resin grade, glass fiber (GF) and carbon fiber (CF) reinforced grade, wear-resistant SL grade, and more.

Medical Field: AvaSpire® PAEK 600 series products have been successfully used in medical applications such as reusable sterilized surgical instruments and equipment. They offer high mechanical properties, strong chemical resistance to various sterilization media, and excellent cleanliness and inertness. Compliant with ISO 10993 standard, they serve as viable substitutes for stainless steel.

Automotive Field: All three AvaSpire® PAEK series are suitable for automotive engine compartment and powertrain applications, capable of withstanding various automotive fluids at temperatures up to 150°C. AV-750 GF40 is used for structural components, wear-resistant SL series for sealing rings, bushings and bearings, and the 400 series for injection molded thin-walled structural components.

Aerospace Field: AvaSpire® PAEK products feature fatigue and creep resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent heat and humidity properties. They are ideal for light to medium-load structural applications in aerospace, with excellent flame, smoke and toxicity properties being key factors for success in this field.

Oil and Gas Field: AvaSpire® PAEK can be used as sealing components in compressors within the oil and gas industry. In the 150°C-190°C temperature range, its mechanical and temperature properties exceed those of PEEK, while offering high toughness and chemical resistance.

• Excellent mechanical properties: AvaSpire® AV-652 demonstrates 10-15% higher strength and stiffness, 20-30% higher impact resistance, and higher elastic modulus between room temperature and 200°C compared to standard 30% glass fiber filled PEEK.
• Good thermal stability: Maintains performance at high temperatures, with some grades offering better stiffness than PEEK in the 150°C-190°C range. AvaSpire® materials maintain elastic-plastic properties at 170°C.
• Excellent chemical resistance: Withstands various industrial chemicals including acids, alkalis and most organic solvents, with excellent hydrolytic stability for long-term use in hot water and steam environments.
• Excellent processing performance: Nominal melt viscosity between high-flow injection molding and low-flow 30% glass fiber reinforced PEEK extruded plastic grades. Low absolute crystallinity, low molding shrinkage, and minimal warping meet strict tolerance requirements.
• Good flame retardant: PAEK is inherently flame retardant, with AvaSpire® PAEK resins and compounds achieving UL-94 V0 or V1 ratings at 0.8 mm thickness without flame retardant additives.
