All are semi-crystalline materials that contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen.
This is due to the low carbon footprint of the monomers, which is similar to that of traditional polyolefins.
The charts above compare 30% short glass-fiber filled samples and show a noticeable difference in the moisture uptake behavior of PK versus to PA6 & PA66.

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint
Thermoplastic Elastomers
Developed to support a global shift toward net zero
CO2 emissions for next-generation products, these
reSound™ TPE formulations deliver negative, neutral,
or near-zero carbon footprint values.
The first grades
in the series offer an industry-first product carbon
footprint (PCF) between -0.46 to -0.02.
reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are
available globally, and each PCF is location specific
to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts.
