How Chemicals Affect Antero 800NA

By TriMech Marketing, last updated October 20, 2025

Antero 800NA is a PEKK-based FDM material known for its strength, high temperature tolerance and chemical resistance. This study presents the results of experiments evaluating the chemical resistance of Antero 800NA when exposed to common aviation industry chemicals. It identifies which chemicals cause the most degradation and extent of their impact.

The study details how the following chemicals affect Antero 800NA:

  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone (Butanone) – organic solvent
  • Toluene – aromatic hydrocarbon solvent
  • Dichloromethane (DCM) – geminal organic solvent
  • Ethyl Acetate – organic solvent
  • Skydrol 500B-4 – aviation hydraulic fluid
  • Jet-A – aviation fue
