The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution. They selected a TPE-based impact modifier that could be used at a loading level five percentage points below the current material while still meeting all of the performance requirements, including higher stiffness.

Edgetek™ PKE SPECIALTY ENGINEERED POLYKETONE FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE EDGETEK™ PKE POLYKETONE FORMULATIONS Injection Molding Parameters The barrel temperatures below should be used as a reference point. Actual melt temperatures should be measured using a pyrometer to ensure consistent and accurate processing. The Edgetek™ ET8900 Series consists of glass-filled and high impact specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics.
