UV ZYTEL COOL GRAY 9C

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.

Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics High-Gloss Nylon (PA6) Formulations High-performing, durable products are at the forefront of consumer demands. Available in a wide range of customizable colors, these impact-modified nylon formulations eliminate secondary painting processes—unlike traditional materials such as painted plastics or metals—providing the added manufacturing and sustainability benefits of reducing energy use and removing VOC emissions.

Replace Nylon, Reduce Carbon Footprint A Guide to Nylon Alternatives Alternatives to Nylon 6,6

These characteristics offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and PA6) and acetal (POM). The production of PK emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) than nylon and POM. When processing, these formulations have similar shrink to nylons and POM, set up quickly, and have short cycle times.
