Increase strength and impact resistance.
As illustrated here, molding with continuous
fiber reinforced composites enables
improved flexural performance over filled
polypropylene as well as increased impact
resistance and overall weight reduction.
With a single layer of
Polystrand CFRTP:
• Flexural strength
increases more than
60%
• Total energy
absorbed on impact
improves by nearly
35%
• Peak force at
puncture increases
over 58%
Increase strength and impact resistance.

It has good tensile,
thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA)
while maintaining excellent wear and chemical
resistance.
The improved chemical resistance and lower
moisture absorption properties combine with the
eco-conscious benefits to make Edgetek™ PKE and
long fiber Complēt™ PKE polyketone composites an
excellent choice for powersports applications that
require consistent performance across different and
demanding environments.
APPLICATION BULLETIN
IMPROVED CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Engineered polyketone delivers excellent performance against aggressive chemicals, like H2SO4 for
batteries (Figure 1), and performs similarly to nylon against typical chemicals tested in powersports,
such as gasoline* (Figure 2).
