Furthermore, our standard and customizable plastic materials can be matched to component and system requirements, meet various regulatory compliance, and eliminate the need for secondary processes.
System Performance Improvement
Performance plastic materials are quickly replacing traditional metal parts within industrial applications thanks to the numerous improvements that engineered plastics provide. These plastics are proven to last longer, perform better, and decrease down time and maintenance costs. For example:
The inherent lubricity of engineered plastics reduces the need for lubricants and prevents equipment from shutting down.
The inherent lubricity of engineered plastics reduces the need for lubricants and prevents equipment from shutting down.
The low-friction, self-lubricating, and high-performance characteristics of these plastics help increase the speed and output of systems.
Engineered plastics are lightweight compared to metals, leading to lower wear on components and systems.
Cost of production will shrink because of lower energy requirements and reduced packaging and shipping costs.
Engineered plastics can be highly effective for electrically active or insulative components.
The corrosion resistance of engineered plastics leads to more efficient operations in harsh environments across wide temperature ranges.
