Processing

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.
