PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
Ketoprix™ EK33 and EKT33 resins are thermoplastic aliphatic polyketones containing a 1,4-diketone backbone structure. They are produced from ethylene, propylene and CO with perfectly alternating olefin and CO monomers in the backbone.
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.
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY
KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins are not hazardous. For information on handling and storage of KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins, please consult our Safety Data Sheets, available from Esprix Technologies.
