Polyketone, either as a filled or unfilled formulation, is often compared to PA6 & PA66, but it’s also an attractive replacement for more specialty long-chain, low moisture nylons like PA12 and PA612. 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.
