This document establishes a system of designation for polyketone (PK) moulding and extrusion
materials which may be used as the basis for specifications. Polyketone polymer chains are built up from
regularly alternating olefinic units and keto groups. The olefinic units shall be randomly distributed
ethylene and propylene.
The types of polyketone plastics are differentiated from each other by a classification system based
on appropriate levels of the designatory properties, melting temperature, melt mass-flow rate,
temperature of deflection under load and on information about the intended application and/or method
of processing, important properties, additives, colour, fillers and reinforcing materials.
The designation system is applicable to all polyketone terpolymers and blends. It applies to materials
ready for normal use in the form of powder, granules or pellets, unmodified or modified by colourants,
fillers or other additives.
It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same
performance. This document does not provide engineering data, performance data or data on processing
conditions which may be required to specify a material. If such additional properties are required, they
are intended to be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in ISO 21970-2, if suitable.
In order to designate a polyketone to meet particular specifications, the requirements are to be given in
data block 5 (see 4.1).Cross References:ISO 11357-3ISO 75-1ISO 1133-1ISO 1043-1ISO 75-2ISO 1133-2ISO 21970-2ISO 75-3All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
