- Processing
Ketoprix™ Polyketone resins are processable in conventional Injection Molding (IM) equipment. Much more information about IM operation of KETOPRIXTM Polyketone resins is contained in our KETOPRIXTM Injection Molding Guide. Since these resins can be used in small diameter extrusions, more information on extrusion of KETOPRIXTM EK63 and EKT63 can be found in the KETOPRIXTM Extrusion Guide. The key to processing KETOPRIXTM 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
