https://www.avient.com/idea/could-polyketone-be-next-generation-nylon-alternative
Although polyketone is a relatively new class of polymer, it is growing in popularity as application engineers seek high-performing alternatives to nylons and POM amid supply constraints and sustainability goals.
Polyketone is considered “eco-conscious” due to the reduced environmental impact of this base resin during the production process compared to PA6, PA66, and POM.
A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
