KEPSTAN® / PEKK
KEPSTAN® / PEKK: High-performance protection for extreme environments
KEPSTAN® / PEKK is a polymer from the PAEK family, known for its ability to withstand high thermal, chemical, and mechanical stresses . As a coating, it provides a suitable solution for industrial parts exposed to harsh environments where standard systems reach their limits.
The advantage of PEKK coating is not only its temperature resistance. It also provides a durable protective barrier, improved wear resistance, and stable performance on technical parts subjected to demanding operating cycles.
Heat • Chemistry • Wear and tear • Critical components
Temperature resistance
Suitable for parts subjected to high temperatures and severe thermal cycles.
Chemical resistance
Good performance against many aggressive agents encountered in industry.
Wear resistance
A useful protection for surfaces exposed to abrasion or repeated stress.
Why choose a KEPSTAN® / PEKK coating?
In certain industrial environments, the choice of coating is not simply a matter of finish or standard protection. It is about securing parts exposed to heat, chemical agents, friction, or high service life constraints.
PEKK stands out precisely because of its ability to meet these requirements. It offers a rare combination of thermal resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical robustness, making it a preferred solution for high-value applications.
Geomet 500 and Geomet 321: chrome-free anti-corrosion coating

The quality of application remains crucial.
As with any high-performance coating, the material alone is not enough. The quality of the result depends directly on surface preparation, application parameters, thermal control of the process, and final inspection.
This is especially true with demanding polymers like PEKK, where an imprecise application can degrade adhesion, homogeneity or service life.
1. Environmental Analysis
Understanding temperatures, fluids, mechanical stresses and expected lifespan.
2. Choice of a coherent solution
Verify that PEKK is indeed the appropriate material for the actual need. Surface preparation and system definition according to the part and specification.
3. Coating application
Controlled implementation to guarantee consistency, protection and compliance with specifications.
4. Controls
Thickness control, cutting, visual inspection, traceability according to your requirements (on request).
