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.

The event, which began on September 19 and extends through October 3, mobilizes volunteers from the Alliance, employees of participating member and non-member companies, partners, and individuals to rid the world of litter – one piece at a time.   Leveraging the global network of the Alliance’s nearly 50 members, the  All Together Global Cleanup expects to educate more than one million individuals about the importance of litter clean up.

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods. Panels are custom engineered to meet customer needs by varying core thicknesses to affect stiffness, core materials to affect weight, fiber to modify the stiffness-weight ratio, and resin material to affect strength.

Engineered Polymer Services Advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, when complemented by in-depth design and material knowledge, facilitates precise prediction of the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer materials. For more technical details on the structural performance of reinforced polymers using CAE, automotive design engineers may access material data and models for Avient’s fiber-reinforced solutions using Hexagon’s Digimat-MX Tool.
