Overview
Antero™ 840CN03 is a PEKK-based FDM thermoplastic combining the excellent physical and mechanical qualities of PEKK with
electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties. The material is filled 3% by weight with carbon nanotubes.

As a high-performance polymer, Antero 840CN03 exhibits exceptional chemical and wear resistance, ultra-low outgassing
properties and consistent ESD performance. ESD values range from 104 – 109 ohms per square inch. This makes the material
particularly suitable for space and industrial applications where these qualities are critical.

ESD Properties
Antero 840CN03 was tested per ANSI ESD S20.20, S11.11, STM11.12 to determine the effect that build parameters and
part geometries had on ESD properties. Different geometries printed in different orientations all fall into the ESD safe range
(104 to 109 ohms). For full details, see the Antero 840CN03 ESD White Paper.
