Features & Benefits

Product Characteristics

These natural resins are moderate MF resins and are well suited for IM parts as well as the matrix polymer for moderately filled compounds. Ketoprix™ EK33 and EKT33 have excellent flow properties and are used in E&E, CAM, Auto and Industrial End Uses.

Product Characteristics

Ketoprix™ Polyketone resins are processable in conventional Injection Molding (IM) equipment. Much more information about IM operation of Ketoprix™ Polyketone resins is contained in our Ketoprix™ Injection Molding Guide. The key to processing Ketoprix™ Polyketones is to minimize holdup and residence time as much as possible. Additional thermal stability is available with the EKT resins that contain added thermal stabilizers and antioxidants.
