They can be customized for specific needs and process efficiently with similar shrink rates
to nylons.
Additionally, the PK base resin significantly reduces the carbon footprint, emitting up to 61% less CO₂ than nylon production, enhancing sustainability
throughout the product lifecycle.
They then set up 4 bins in production to sort our plastic scrap into bins of PE/PP, PS, Nylon, and High Temp materials.

Nymax™ solutions, which are
formulated with at least 50%
reclaimed nylon, enabled landfi ll waste
reduction of over 17 million pounds.
