The Challenge
Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6.
The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.
