Most fluoropolymers, other than PTFE and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), can be melt processed using conventional thermoplastic extrusion or molding techniques.
Fluoropolymers have high melting points and corresponding high processing temperatures and continuous use temperatures, depending on the specific product.
At the lower end, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) has a typical continuous use temperature of 300°F (150°C) and typically reaches 450°F (232°C) during processing3.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
We also monitor earnings (defined as net income from continuing operations) before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before the impact of special items) as a
supplement to our GAAP measures.

With PK, you can get engineered thermoplastic performance with an added benefit of a polyolefin carbon footprint.
In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics.
The charts above compare 30% short glass-fiber filled samples and show a noticeable difference in the moisture uptake behavior of PK versus to PA6 & PA66.

THE CHALLENGE
Nearly 110 years after it was founded, WillowWood
continues to fulfill its mission to free the bodies and
spirits of amputees.
When developing a more flexible prosthetic foot for low-
activity amputees, WillowWood approached the Avient
advanced composites group for help improving the
experience of end-users.
