With PK, you can get engineered thermoplastic performance with an added benefit of a polyolefin carbon footprint.
In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66.
However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin.

Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions.
Compare long glass fiber thermoplastics strength, toughness, impact data and more.
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are a good option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.
