AKROTEK® PK-VM

AKROTEK® PK-VM by Akro-Plastic is a semi-crystalline, high flow polyketone grade with carbon monoxide as a co-monomer. Possesses very high elasticity, low moisture absorption and the greatest yield strain (over 30%) compared to other semi-crystalline polymers. Provides high barrier properties, short cycle times and high coefficient of fiction. Exhibits good wear and excellent hydrolysis resistance, good welding behavior along with excellent chemical resistance against weak acids, unleaded gasoline, methanol, hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, alcohol, etc. Products manufactured have very low creep tendency and resist high stresses under strong chemical effects. Offers good flowability and crystallization rate as compared to polyamide 6 and 6.6. Can be processed by injection molding and film extrusion. Used for protective films and industrial applications such as gear wheels, containers, valves, dowel pins, journal bearings, hoses, cable ties, distributors, snap-hooks. AKROTEK® PK-VM is also suitable for automotive industry for fuel lines, fuel tank containers, filters, gear wheels, wheel covers, components for fuel pumps, wheel-speed sensors, quick connectors and wheel caps, and in electrical/electronic applications for connectors, switches, fuse holders, socket-outlets and housings.
