It has good tensile,
thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA)
while maintaining excellent wear and chemical
resistance.
The improved chemical resistance and lower
moisture absorption properties combine with the
eco-conscious benefits to make Edgetek™ PKE and
long fiber Complēt™ PKE polyketone composites an
excellent choice for powersports applications that
require consistent performance across different and
demanding environments.
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).

In 2018 we
acquired IQAP, a highly-respected color and
additives producer with an established footprint
in Europe, as well as PlastiComp, a unique
innovator of specialty composites that provides
performance attributes such as high strength and
stiff ness, design freedom, fatigue endurance, and
corrosion resistance.
In the transportation industry, plastic has proven to be durable, lightweight and corrosion
resistant while offering fuel savings, design flexibility and high performance, often replacing traditional materials such
as metal and glass.
We believe this contract assures the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin.

POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.
FIBER-LINE™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT,
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic
Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range
of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance
fiber performance—such as twisting and coating—
and then custom manufactured into a composite
tape with a thermoplastic resin.
Engineered Fiber Thermoplastic Tapes provide
excellent strength-to-weight and creep resistance
suitable for demanding composite applications.

As a visible outdoor part, the material
needed good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact
resistance, and a matte finish.
The Maxxam REC Recycled
Polyolefin formulations met the required technical
specifications, including good UV resistance, scratch
resistance, impact resistance, and with a matte finish,
making them suitable for use in the cubyko leaf
waterproof outdoor socket.

Colorants & Additives for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)
Wire & Cable Applications
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has excellent
mechanical performance, chemical and abrasion
resistance.
Avient Additives for Wire & Cable
• Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame-
retardant additives that add or improve flame
resistance.
The inclusion of these additives
can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests,
even if the resin originally used is not flame
retardant
• Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that
improve weather resistance and provide long
term protection against weather degradation
• Semi-conductive TPU formulations to
enhance cable performance
• Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking
additives for durable cable marking.

It must also have the required heat
resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical
connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit
Working closely with the
manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material
required a special combination of properties:
• A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of
signal dampening prescribed
• Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective
electrical connection and at the same time allow for
snap-fit installation
• A cost-effective solution that would enable the
manufacturer to compete in this new market
Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more
than 30 different materials.
