ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common thermoplastic polymer. This engineering plastic is popular due to its low production cost, great electrical insulation properties, impact resistance, and more. Additionally, ABS is easy to machine. ABS is widely used in small kitchen appliances, automotive components, display bases, machine housings, etc.
Nylon (Polyamide) is a strong, stiff engineering plastic with outstanding bearing and wear properties. Nylons are typically described according to numbers, such as 6, 66, 11, etc. Popular applications for nylon include wheel chairs, food processing machinery parts, packaging machinery parts, gears, bearings and bushings, and more.
POM (Polyoxymethylene), also called Acetal plastic, is a semi crystalline thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and rigidity. This engineering thermoplastic material is used in precision parts requiring excellent wear resistance, good sliding properties, and low moisture absorption.
Sliding applications, e.g., bearing bushes, rollers, etc.
Electrically insulating parts
Scratch-resistant, high-gloss visible parts
Wide range of components in the food and medical industry
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) is a unique engineering plastic with outstanding resistance, excellent mechanical strength, and dimensional stability. PEEK material can be used at temperatures up to 250-260 °C. The melting point of the high-temperature plastic is approximately. 341 °C. This engineering plastic is widely used in aerospace parts, semiconductor machinery components, medical instrument parts, food processing machinery components, etc.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a lightweight clear plastic often used for food processing applications with low moisture absorption, low thermal expansion, and excellent wear characteristics. In addition, PET is also commonly used in the automotive industry, such as wiper arms, gear housings, engine covers, etc.
PC (Polycarbonate) is widely used in many industries, such as the automotive, optical, medical, aerospace, semiconductor, electronic, and building industries. This clear polycarbonate plastic offers good electrical insulation properties, transparency, and impact resistance. PC can withstand high temperatures without melting or deforming, nearly up to 120 °C.
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a strong, resistant, soft, and formable material. It is identified by its high melting point and performs well at elevated temperatures. Plus, the good weathering resistance and extremely low friction make it an extremely long-lasting material. It plays an important role in chemical plant engineering, food, and medical industries.
PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), also known as acrylic, is a type of plastic known for its transparency, tensile strength and durability. Due to the UV stability, it is suitable for outdoor applications. PMMA has excellent mechanical properties and low toxicity. Common uses of PMMA include: automotive lights, home appliances, skylights, signs and displays, LCD, and more applications.
