Polyoxymethylene (POM) is often the preferred solution for precision parts that demand high strength and stiffness, a low coefficient of friction (COF), and excellent dimensional stability.
Fortunately, polymers based on polyketone (PK) offer a strong potential to replace POM by delivering equivalent performance and avoiding the toxicity issues of formaldehyde.
PK materials also offer sustainability advantages over POM by emitting lower carbon emissions during polymer production.

In this study, Avient’s Trilliant™ HC8900 and Edgetek™
ET8900 thermoplastics were tested alongside
competitive materials used for various medical
and consumer device enclosures.
Furthermore, synergistic PK blends can enhance
their resistance to aqueous solutions, even in
the presence of surfactants and co-solvents such
as those used in disinfectant/cleaner mixtures.
