PAEK Process Development and Manufacturing

ID: 733330 Arkansas, USA

Request Expert

Expert has over 10 years' PAEK experience. During this time, he served as new product development chemist, project leader, and manufacturing manager for PEKK commercialization. As a new product development chemist, he assumed hands-on responsibility for laboratory process and product development from round-bottomed flask, up through the RC1 model reactor, during which time we identified and modeled numerous critical control parameters, from raw material characteristics through isolation and drying of the final semi-crystalline product.

As commercialization project leader, Expert formally moved from the development chemist position into a pilot plant and small-scale manufacturing area leader position. During this stage he successfully mapped and modeled PEKK production variables, through their impact on the down-stream extrusion, compositing, sheeting, and thermoforming properties of a wide variety of linear and branched PEKK copolymers, thus allowing design, engineering and construction of a multi-million pound per year PEKK production facility.

As manufacturing manager, Expert was tasked full-time to achievement of manufacturing rates and quality, and stayed on the project through completion of a multi-company, multi-year contract that delivers formed parts to OEM consumer product manufacturers.
