POKETONE reduce cycle time
October 16, 2025Hyosung Chemical operates a global network of over 70 business sites worldwide, structured into eight business units. The company is a global leader in multiple product categories, including seatbelt yarns, airbag fabrics, and more.
Hyosung Chemical is dedicated to developing innovative plastic products guided by safety and sustainability.

POKETONE™ is the world’s first commercially successful polyketone. It is a non-toxic, biocompatible polymer that is both FDA- and NSF-approved, with minimal CO₂ emissions during production.
It features outstanding chemical resistance, high impact strength, elongation at break, and excellent wear resistance. Thanks to its well-balanced properties, POKETONE™ is widely used in sectors such as automotive, water meters, water purifiers, toys, medical devices, piping, and films.
Hyosung Chemical demonstrates how POKETONE (Polyketone) delivers faster cooling and shorter cycle times in injection molding, thanks to its higher thermal diffusivity compared to POM, PBT, and PA66.
Real-world results show 30–55% faster cycle times, leading to improved productivity and reduced manufacturing costs — all without changing your equipment.
“Faster cooling leads to shorter cycles which leads to higher efficiency”, says Gustav Claesson, Technical sales manager at Mape Plastics
