Polyketone is a high-performance engineering polymer characterized by a backbone containing alternating ketone carbonyl groups, offering excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. It is widely used in automotive fuel systems, chemical processing equipment, and industrial piping where resistance to fuels, oils, and aggressive solvents is critical. Engineers select polyketone over standard polyolefins when dimensional stability at elevated temperatures and superior barrier properties are required, particularly in applications where exposure to hydrocarbons or polar solvents would degrade less robust plastics.
