Benefits of Performance Plastics
Performance plastics provide countless benefits in situations where electrical applications are needed. These materials can withstand high voltages and high temperatures without degradation, unlike alternative materials that may fail under the same conditions. Many of our materials offer superior insulating properties while others are available in surface or volume conductive and dissipative formulations. Plastics exhibit dielectric strength, high insulation and thermal performance, and corrosion, water, and heat resistance. These qualities make them ideal for safe, high performance electrical components.
Composite materials combine properties to make electrical components with superior mechanical strength, high dielectric constants, and other important characteristics. Because of these benefits, the electrical and insulation properties of plastic make it a popular material for wiring, cabling, sleeving, and electrical shielding products. These materials can also be used to produce electrical enclosures, printed circuit boards, and so much more!
