POK is short for Polyketone, a high performance plastic with very good properties in the field of modular belts, side strips and medical devices.
In the case of modular belts, there are many pathogens that threaten food manufacturers. An example is Listeria monocytogenes poses a special danger. It can affect fishery activities, but it can survive and grow in cold environments. Continuous moisture makes Listeria very hard to eliminate. With Microlitix anti-microbial Universal carriers, the surface of the POK part is protected by inhibiting bacterial growth. POK provides a capacity to withstand extreme conditions of deterioration due to chemicals, heat and wear.
POK boasts 2-3 times higher impact strength than standard engineering plastics, which ensures resiliency against sudden forces, making it ideal for components in operational parts.
Serves as a substitute for metals in spring applications, gears and seals.
Together with Modular belting systems, POK is also suitable for medical components, water purifier tanks and cosmetic pump springs.
Microlitix® has a POK anti-microbial masterbatch and a TPU Anti-microbial universal masterbatch carrier suitable for POK in injection and extrusion.
