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).

nge Accepted.
It must also have the required heat
resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical
connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit
Working closely with the
manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material
required a special combination of properties:
• A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of
signal dampening prescribed
• Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective
electrical connection and at the same time allow for
snap-fit installation
• A cost-effective solution that would enable the
manufacturer to compete in this new market
Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more
than 30 different materials.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results
