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.
One of the other key values of polyketone thermoplastics is their incredible chemical resistance, especially in contrast to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.
