Home // Can Polyketone (PK) Materials Provide an Alternative to Polyoxymethylene (POM)? Fortunately, polymers based on polyketone (PK) offer a strong potential to replace POM by delivering equivalent performance and avoiding the toxicity issues of formaldehyde. PK materials also offer sustainability advantages over POM by emitting lower carbon emissions during polymer production.

Hardness is defined as a materials’ resistance to indenture. The materials’ hardness is a function of both thickness and product grade. It is important to understand that the material does not really change the hardness.

The sustainability goals were clear: conserve more material, reduce energy usage, and reduce plastic waste in the environment. Avient developed new recycled-content materials to enable its customers to achieve their goals and add options for the circular economy. By using recycled content, the customer made significant strides toward the circular economy, conserved materials and reduced energy usage by over 65%.

In automotive applications, there is a demand for alternative materials to improve interior air quality and reduce carbon footprint. An automotive OEM was looking to increase the use of sustainable materials for various vehicle parts in order to make progress towards achieving their sustainability goals and net zero emissions targets. 

STAYING COMPLIANT With an increasing demand for fire safety, new fire- related legislation and restrictions have become an expectation. TARGET APPLICATIONS • Aerospace • Appliances • Automotive, including electric vehicles • Building & construction • Electrical & electronics • Public transportation • Recreational vehicles, bikes & scooters • Wire & cable IMPACT • Reduce spread of fire and heat release • Limit quantity of smoke to allow people to find their way to safety more easily • Limit toxicity and acidity of gases so people are less likely to be overcome by fumes • Enhance char formation, avoiding droplets which can proliferate fire • Meet regulation and legislation requirements Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
