AKROTEK®
PK-VM 8 natural (6146)PK
AKROTEK® PK-VM 8 natural (6146) is an unreinforced Polyketone with high flowability. The outstanding friction and wear properties enable the use for demanding components exposed to tribological stress. PK is characterized by its outstanding media resistance, which qualifies it to be used for components that are in contact with chemicals. Moreover the material corresponds to the European food guideline EU 10/2011 and to the American FDA 21 CFR.

Processing information
The values mentioned are recommendations. We only recommend desiccant / dry air dryers or vacuum dryers. Too long a drying time and the resulting residual moisture content below the lower limit can lead to filling problems and surface defects. The specified drying time refers to closed and undamaged bagged material. When processing from previously opened bags or from octabins with polyolefin inliners, a longer drying time may be necessary. It is recommended to check the residual moisture content after the drying process.
