Compared to glass-filled PA6 & PA66, moisture does very little to affect the physical property change of glass-filled PK.
The glass-filled polyketone samples showed better property retention and lower dimensional change than PA6 and PA66.
The gloss level cannot be improved through process modification and only small improvements can be made with a change in the tooling surface.

Sustainable Material Answers™
Recyled PET (rPET)
As climate change continues to be one of the defining issues of our time,
a commitment to sustainable solutions is essential—now more than
ever.
This type of PET is in high demand
because changes in the contents of the container that may indicate impurities can
be easily detected.
Chain extenders can be used in order
to raise the IV and ensure the rPET strength and performance is suitable for
the new application.
