EKT33G3F1L, EKT33G2F1L (Flame Retardant)
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
Ketoprix™ EKT33G2L and EKT33G3L resins are thermoplastic aliphatic polyketone compounds where the polyketone base polymer consists of perfectly alternating α-olefins and CO to give the 1,4-diketone polymer backbone structure. To this base resin, fiber reinforcement, additional thermal stabilizers and lubricants are added to achieve desired mechanical performance and to assist in injection molding.
These compounded resins are formulated for Injection Molded parts where higher strength and stiffness are required. Ketoprix™ EKT23G3C2/3 compounds are typically used in E&E, Automotive and Industrial End Uses.

PROCESSING
KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins are processable in conventional Injection Molding (IM) equipment. Much more information about IM operation of KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins is contained in our KETOPRIX™ Injection Molding Guide. The key to processing KETOPRIX™ Polyketones is to minimize holdup and residence time as much as possible. Additional thermal stability is available with the EKT resins that contain added thermal stabilizers and antioxidants.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY
KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins are not hazardous. For information on handling and storage of KETOPRIX™ Polyketone resins, please consult our Safety Data Sheets, available from Esprix Technologies.
