PK – Polyketone PK GF30 FR(40)
AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR black (8604)AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR black (8604) is a 30% glass fibre reinforced, flame retardant and process improved Polyketone compound, colored in black. The flame retardant system is free of red phosphorous and halogens. Due to its good chemical resistance, good dimensional stability and high elongation at break it is suitable for high voltage components in e-mobility. The compound is laser markable.

Processing information
The listed values are recommendations. Higher values should be used for higher glass loadings. We recommend only de-humidifying or vacuum dryers. Extensive drying can cause filling problems and surface defects.

Warning
Polyketones crosslink depending on time and temperature, crosslinking is noticed by an increase of viscosity and/or dark spots in natural colored compounds. The melt temperature should be at or below 240 °C and under no circumstances go beyond 250 °C because crosslinking speed will increase. The residence time in the barrel including the hot runner should not exceed 4 min. If interruptions of more than 4 minutes are expected, the barrel and hot runner need to be purged and cleaned with polyolefins. The molding machine needs to be purged with polyolefines before and after processing of AKROTEK® PK! There is a risk of cross linking caused by reactions with POM or PA as well as unsuitable masterbatches! Crosslinking is noticed by an increase of viscosity and or dark spots in natural colored compounds. In this case purge immediately with polyolefines.
