RENU™ PEK HF NAT-MP### extends PolyClean’s PEK powder offering to custom particle sizes from 20 to 170 mesh. All thermal and mechanical properties are equivalent to TDS-009; the differentiator is particle size distribution. Available for thermal spray, custom compression molding geometries, and specialized coating applications where the standard 140-mesh cut is not optimal. Minimum order quantities and lead times apply — contact PolyClean for details.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Note: RENU™ recycled powders are suitable for non-critical industrial, electronics, automotive, and commercial applications. They are NOT recommended for safety-critical aerospace structures or life-sustaining medical devices.
Application Area | Specific Uses |
Thermal Spray (High-Temp) | Coarser PEK for plasma spray coatings in extreme-temperature service |
Custom Compression Molding | Optimized PSD for specific tooling geometries in demanding industrial applications |
PACKAGING & AVAILABILITY
Format | Details |
Box (Standard) | Up to 25 kg (55 lbs) per box — double-wall corrugated with poly liner |
Drum (Bulk) | 68 kg (150 lbs) bulk drums — fiber or plastic drum with sealed poly liner |
Custom Packaging | Available on request for larger volumes — contact PolyClean for details |
Labeling | Each container labeled with: RENU™ product code, mesh size, lot number, and date of manufacture |
Processing Notes Specify mesh on PO (e.g., RENU™ PEK HF NAT-MP080). PEK is significantly harder to mill than PEEK — lead times for custom mesh may be longer. |
