APPLICATION BULLETIN
IMPROVED CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Engineered polyketone delivers excellent performance against aggressive chemicals, like H2SO4 for
batteries (Figure 1), and performs similarly to nylon against typical chemicals tested in powersports,
such as gasoline* (Figure 2).
Gasoline - 30% glass-filled (GF) grade, dry as molded (DAM), room temperature
Testing methodology is an adaptation from ASTM D543
• Reapply freshly soaked gauze pad every 24 hours to prevent from drying out
• Repeat for a total of 72 hours
• Tensile properties recorded
*Chemical resistance data for DEET, motor oil, glass cleaner, and sunscreen available upon request
