PK 5000 Additive Powder

Explore

A perfect balance of key mechanical properties resulting in a polymer that’s strong, tough and ductile

This material features a unique combination of chemical and mechanical properties, such as high-impact strength, high abrasion resistance and improved elongation to withstand functional testing and use. Equally important, PK 5000 has high‑barrier properties and low-moisture absorption, which are critical for ensuring the quality and resilience of parts and products exposed to fuel and water.

Our engineered powder, which is based on PolyKetone, is an eco-friendly and non-toxic polymer made from carbon monoxide and olefins. The ability to leverage carbon monoxide, which is a leading cause of atmospheric pollution, reduces its overall carbon footprint.

Key Highlights

Improved impact strength over PA 12 SLS and similar nylon materials
POM like coefficient of friction and feel
Very low moisture absorption
Dimensional stable
Excellent chemical resistance
Very good elongation properties
Wide processing window with similar processing parameters to PA 12 SLS
Low carbon footprint
