Nylon Alternatives Offer Consistent Performance for Powersports Applications Edgetek™ PKE and Complēt™ PKE Polyketone Formulations By definition, aliphatic polyketone (PK) is a semi- crystalline engineering resin. APPLICATION BULLETIN IMPROVED CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Engineered polyketone delivers excellent performance against aggressive chemicals, like H2SO4 for batteries (Figure 1), and performs similarly to nylon against typical chemicals tested in powersports, such as gasoline* (Figure 2). Concentrated Acid - 30% H2SO4, 24 HRS, 23°C Nylon samples were almost completely dissolved after one day, while the Edgetek PKE bars are still visible.

One strategy? When designing luxury packaging that appeals to the most discerning of consumers, material selection is one way to trigger implicit notions of a brand or product.  

Recycled plastics can be used to create new products across several industries, but one brand owner in particular was looking to incorporate recycled plastics in their consumer applications. Additionally, for every one ton of plastic recycled, the customer saves planet Earth the equivalent of 1,000–2,000 gallons of gasoline.*
