Aliphatic polyketone, often referred to as just polyketone or PK, is a semi-crystalline engineering resin that is an alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethylene with some propylene (1–10%).
Interestingly, perfectly alternating polyketone copolymer results in a highly crystalline material that is very difficult to process.

Avient Extends Recycled TPE Portfolio with Grades Containing up to 60% Recycled Content, Supporting Global Customers
The new reSound REC GP 7820 TPE grades from Avient contain up to 60% recycled content from either post-consumer recycled (PCR) streams or a combination of PCR and post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials, depending on regional availability.
They are easily colorable, suitable for injection molding and overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) substrates, and available globally.
