In addition to these high-performance
characteristics, this healthcare portfolio offers a
reduced carbon footprint over the product life cycle
because PK production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Comparable dimensional stability to nylon
• Reinforced with 10–33% glass fill
• High impact and wear resistance
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Whether using a standard or customized
formulation, the PK-based Trilliant grades provide
a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more
eco-conscious alternative to competitive materials
found in biopharmaceutical processing, hospital
settings, and home healthcare applications.
