While PK and PA are both semi-
crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and
oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in
the amide bond of the nylon backbone.
In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a
product through a lower carbon footprint because
the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent
less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.
