AvaSpire® AV-621 is an unreinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) that offers improved ductility and impact strength relative to PEEK while retaining most of the key performance attributes of PEEK. The AV-621 grade is the low melt flow (higher molecular weight) analogue of the medium flow grade AvaSpire® AV-651 that is tailored primarily for injection molding applications as well as film extrusion. AvaSpire® AV-621 resin is suited for a variety of processing methods including compression molding, stock shape extrusion, as well as injection molding. AV-621 has been formulated for applications requiring a balance of chemical resistance and mechanical strength along with good part aesthetics, thereby bridging the performance gaps within the ultra polymers space. These and other properties make this resin well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, semiconductor, electronics, chemical processing, and other industries. AvaSpire® AV-621 is easily fabricated using conventional thermoplastic melt processing techniques and standard equipment. The resin has a uniform opaque appearance with a beige color similar to that of PEEK. 

AvaSpire® AV-630 is an unreinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) developed as an alternative to low melt flow PEEK for the extrusion of ultra-thin films. Films with thicknesses as low as 0.2 mils (5 microns) can be successfully melt extruded out of AV-630 using conventional thermoplastics film extrusion equipment.
Films of AV-630 offer certain performance advantages over comparable PEEK film. These include improved toughness and ductility, a higher retention of mechanical integrity at temperatures above 150°C, better acceptance of adhesives and improved flame propagation resistance properties. Ultra-thin films (<15 microns thick) also exhibit a more flexible, less crinkly feel than that of PEEK films at comparable thicknesses. 
Sub-mil thick films produced from AV-630 can be utilized in a wide range of industrial applications. Typical applications include capacitors, electrical insulation, flexible circuitry substrates, composite film layers, specialty laminates, good flexibilities, liners and aerospace films, such a thermal acoustical insulation blanket bagging materials.
