It has good tensile,
thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA)
while maintaining excellent wear and chemical
resistance.
While PK and PA are both semi-
crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and
oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in
the amide bond of the nylon backbone.
Concentrated Acid - 30% H2SO4, 24 HRS, 23°C
Nylon samples were almost completely dissolved after one day, while the Edgetek PKE bars are still visible.

These properties
offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-
competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative
to nylons.
The production of PK emits up to
61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.
When processing, these have similar shrink to
nylons, set up quickly, and have short cycle times.
