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.

Clarity and yellowness remains an industry challenge for thermoplastics with bulk- imbedded antimicrobial additives. Notably, the addition of blue tint can effectively decrease the YI to a level below FIGURE 2 Results of Japanese Industrial Standard Z2801 testing for various GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer line products; 24-h bacteria viability reported in mean CFU/sample is plotted for a series of samples with increased ZPT loading.
