Flexible polymer solutions offering clear and opaque properties without plasticizers Medical Plastics Help Designers and Manufacturers Meet Changing Requirements

Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Plastic Waste

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
