Explore specialty polyketone grades that go head-to-head with PA66, PA6 and POM.

They are available across multiple polymer systems, including PA6, PA66, PC, POM, PBT, PPS, and PK, and provide comparable performance to conventional internally lubricated grades (link to full press release here).

In addition, nylon 6 offers a lustrous finish while nylon 6/6 is designed for high-temperature performance.  Bergamid™ Polyamide Formulations offered nylon (PA66) formulation with high impact resistance and dimensional stability Custom Nymax™ PA6 formulation provides toughness and chemical resistance for a more protective phone case
