In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. If the material is allowed to stay in an injection molding machine or extruder (profile, sheet, etc.) too long, the material will start to discolor and brown ‘freckles’ may appear.

The cost associated with maintaining a laser marking system is lower than for printing systems, and laser marking supports greater design and production flexibility; changing a marking is as simple as pushing a few buttons on a laser marking unit. Avient has experience formulating Cesa laser marking additives that can work with a wide variety of polymers and processes, including injection molding, blow molding and extrusion.
