CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: This is required
to allow medical and dental equipment
to be disinfected, and to improve the
durability of components used in the
chemical processing industries.
Healthcare: Requirements for materials to withstand steam sterilization and harsh
chemical disinfectants.
Industrial: Demand for polymers offering thermal chemical resistance to a wide
range of environments for bushings, valves, and instrumentation.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-12/PKE grades for Powersports Application Bulletin.pdf
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).
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-12/Complet PKE Product Bulletin.pdf
These materials
are semi-crystalline and deliver excellent chemical
resistance, low moisture uptake, and dimensional
stability similar to nylon (PA6 and PA66).
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Chemical resistance
• Maintaining high impact performance at low
temperatures
• Low moisture uptake
• Dimensional stability comparable to nylon
• Higher impact resistance than short fiber
alternatives
• Eco-conscious alternative to nylons
• More cost-effective solution than specialty
nylons
• Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve
UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are for use in applications
traditionally made of metal requiring moisture,
chemical and cold impact performance
requirements, including:
• Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management
• Electrical & Electronics – connectors,
battery components, battery housings
• Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/
chemical contact components, non-structural
interior components
• Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors
PRODUCT BULLETIN
* Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without
intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.

Once a thermoset material
is cured with heat it forms a permanent shape that cannot be
reheated and reformed.

Chemical Resistance
Exposure to chemicals can cause changes in weight, volume and pliability that degrade TPEs and LSR
to the point of failure.
With a diverse range of formulations on the market today, TPEs exhibit a wide range of resistance to
chemicals.
Bear in mind, thermoplastic properties of TPEs mean that
chemical resistance is most likely to worsen as temperature is raised.

Dear Valued Customer,
As part of PolyOne’s commitment to offer our customers the most value in a competitive global marketplace,
we are making changes to our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in order to meet the coming requirements
of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
GHS generally requires more information on the hazards of chemicals to be included on an SDS, and requires it
in a different format, so GHS SDSs are generally longer than before.
Why we are doing this in early 2014:
GHS format for mixtures of chemicals will be a requirement in the U.S. and European Union in June 2015, but
is already a reality in much of the world.

CASE STUDY: EXCELITE™ IM CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES
THE CHALLENGE
With more major OEMs introducing lightweighting
initiatives, the use of chemical foaming additives (CFAs)
is becoming more common among automotive injection
molders.
Excelite IM Chemical Foaming Additives:
• The only patented liquid CFA in North America
and Europe
• Supported with customized dosing equipment
and technical assistance
• Typically contains 70% active CFA content,
dispersed in proprietary liquid vehicles
LIQUID CFAs PROVIDE A TOP TIER-1 MOLDER
WITH A CONSISTENT SOLUTION

Rigid polymers typically used
to make housings for medical devices are
failing to resist these chemicals.
These medical devices could benefit from
the excellent chemical resistance found with
Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials
RESILIENCE™ HC OUTPERFORMS COMPETING POLYMERS
Design engineers are increasingly looking more frequently for better chemical resistance properties
in rigid device housings to combat the effects of disinfectants.
