New Edgetek PKE NHFR formulations overcome the drawbacks of PA6 by delivering low moisture uptake, as well as excellent chemical and wear resistance, and high-impact resistance. Importantly, the production of PK emits up to 61 percent less carbon than the production of PA66, and 46 percent less than PA6. Visitors to The Battery Show, which is combined with the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo, can learn more on the Avient booth in hall 6, stand A-36.

This expands the product line that launched earlier this year with PA6 resin derived from reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets.  Providing stiffness, strength, and toughness, these new sustainable grades offer properties comparable to those of standard PA66 and TPU long fiber formulations using virgin resin. Complēt™ REC PA66 and TPU long fiber reinforced composites can assist OEMs in achieving their sustainability goals for structural applications in such markets as adventure gear and office furnishings.

They are available across multiple polymer systems, including PA6, PA66, PC, POM, PBT, PPS, and PK, and provide comparable performance to conventional internally lubricated grades (link to full press release here).   Bergamid™ FR Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Formulations: developed for high-voltage connectors, designed to combine the application flexibility of high-flow nylons for thin-wall designs with the sustainable performance of a non-halogenated fire retardant system, available in unfilled or reinforced PA6, PA66 and PA 6/66 grades with UL 94 V0 and CTI 800+ ratings  

The polymer structure of PK is very similar to PA6 and PA66, which explains their similar performance. This makes PK much less hygroscopic and less sensitive to moisture conditioning than PA6 and PA66.
