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).

Once a thermoset material is cured with heat it forms a permanent shape that cannot be reheated and reformed. 1http://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance Chemical Resistance PERFORMANCE COMPARISON 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. http://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance Heat Resistance PERFORMANCE COMPARISON As a thermoset, LSR can perform at continuous temperatures in excess of 200°C.

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. • Barcode Scanners • Blood Pressure Monitors • Defibrillators • Infusion Pumps • Ventilators According to the U.S. 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.
