Drawing from its comprehensive portfolio of specialized global polymers, additives, and colorants for healthcare, Avient’s on-site experts will focus on a growing list of compliant technologies, bio-based and other sustainable alternatives to traditional materials, and its design services that support product development. In addition, the polyketone-based glass-filled formulations offer comparable performance to nylon, plus the benefit of enabling a lower carbon footprint for a more eco-conscious alternative.

Home // Polyketone, a Next-Generation Sustainable Nylon Alternative In the current industrial landscape, fluctuations in nylon supply and the increasing demand for sustainability commitments and materials highlight the growing need for viable alternatives. Watch this webinar to learn more about the benefits and performance of this next-generation nylon alternative.

The innovations we are showcasing here at Impressions Expo offer our customers water-based, silicone, and non-PVC inks, as well as reduced energy use, and now bio-derived solutions for customers seeking renewable alternatives that won’t compromise on performance while yielding high-quality results,” said Tito Echiburu, General Manager, Avient Specialty Inks.

With Edgetek polyketone grades, we offer attractive alternatives to polyamide that can lower carbon footprint.

This includes working with suppliers and other departments within Avient to identify suitable alternatives and drive innovation towards sustainable solutions.

This includes sustainable solutions that can enable recycling, support human health and safety, reduce energy use, and offer eco-conscious alternatives to traditional methods.
