Engineered Thermoplastic Resins Reduce Cost and Improve Performance Characteristics in Metal Replacement
Engineered Thermoplastic Resins Reduce Cost and Improve Performance Characteristics in Metal Replacement
PERFORMANCE • Engineered thermoplastics are lighter in weight, providing for ease of use and reduction in transporta tion cost for both parts and ra w ma terials • High performance resins provide resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and rust, reducing the need for secondar y coa tings and sprays • Engineering resins can be non-conductive, improving safety for certain a pplica tions • UV resistant properties provide longevity to products and also reduce need for secondar y coa tings and sprays SENSORY • Noise & vibra tion dampening as compared to traditional metal parts • T empera ture stability (resistance to reaching extreme tempera tures) PROCESSABILITY / MANUFACTURING • Ability to mold complex geometr y and multiple parts reduce the amount of metal component
