Cendres+Métaux states that PEKKTON® (PEKK) is, "Not just theory, but practical studies prove the advantages of poly ether ketone ketone (PEKK) in dentistry. Unlike PEEK, PEKK displays both amorphous and crystalline material properties. This makes PEKK particularly interesting. Thanks to its unique mechanical, physical and chemical properties, PEKK lends itself to a broader range of uses than PEEK:
- up to 80% greater compression strength than PEEK
- wider processing window of parameters than PEEK"
