Polyketon (PK)

Goodfellow offers high-performance polyketone (PK) for advanced applications in research and industry, providing this innovative polymer in various forms to meet diverse needs. PK is characterized by its excellent chemical resistance, high strength, and good barrier properties. These attributes make PK particularly valuable in industries such as automotive, oil and gas, and packaging. In the automotive sector, PK is used for fuel system components, under-the-hood parts, and interior trim, benefiting from its resistance to hydrocarbons and dimensional stability. The oil and gas industry utilizes PK in offshore applications and pipeline components, taking advantage of its resistance to harsh chemicals and abrasion. In packaging, PK finds applications in food containers and industrial packaging due to its excellent barrier properties and recyclability. Emerging technologies leveraging PK include advanced 3D printing filaments for functional prototypes and components for renewable energy systems. Goodfellow's provision of PK supports ongoing research in materials science, particularly in the development of sustainable high-performance polymers. The unique combination of properties in PK makes it invaluable in both scientific research and industrial contexts where chemical resistance and durability are crucial.
