As polymer material moves
through shear-inducing production equipment,
positive or negative static charges can build up on
the surface.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Comparable dimensional stability to nylon
• Reinforced with 10–40% short glass fiber
• High impact and wear resistance
• Cost competitive
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6
• Non-halogen, flame retardant performance
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These glass-reinforced materials meet the
challenges found in chemical, fuel contact, and
high moisture environments
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

These materials also offer a sustainability benefit
through a reduced carbon footprint because PK
base resin production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve
sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Inherently low COF
• Excellent wear resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Cost-effective
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66,
PA6 and POM
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are ideal for use in applications
requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations
have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis
resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
