Engineering Plastics
Engineering plastics can be used permanently at temperatures between 100°C and 350°C. In general, this product group is also referred to as technical thermoplastics.
Engineering plastics demonstrate good mechanical characteristics, high dimensional stability, good chemical resistance, and resistance to wear.
Over 100 machinable plastics!
We offer a broad-based range of production techniques capable of processing thermoplastic stock shapes in a wide variety of plastic material choices under a single roof.
It is often a fact that the material or the end product, is the one that determines the processing method used: No matter if it's about a large scale volume or small production runs; large and bulky or small and delicate parts - our engineering plastic stock shapes can be purchased in various unmodified grades, in addition to a variety of modified grades to fit your application.
We offer a wide range of engineering plastics with individual modifications from the following product families:
What are the key properties of engineering plastics that distinguish them from standard plastics?
Engineering plastics exhibit superior mechanical characteristics, such as high tensile strength and impact resistance, compared to standard plastics. They also demonstrate high dimensional stability, making them suitable for precision applications. Moreover, engineering plastics possess excellent chemical resistance and wear resistance, allowing them to perform reliably in harsh environments.
In what temperature range can engineering plastics be used effectively?
Engineering plastics are designed for permanent use within a temperature range of 100°C to 350°C. This high thermal stability makes them suitable for applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
What are some common applications for engineering plastics?
Common applications of engineering plastics include components in automotive parts, electrical housings, and industrial machinery. Products such as Polyamide 6 MOS2 rods and Polyamide 66 rods are frequently used in these contexts due to their durability and performance under stress.
