The right thermoplastic material for your application

High-performance plastics are increasingly being used to replace materials like bronze, stainless steel, aluminium, and ceramics. The most popular reasons for switching to plastic include:

  • Longer part life
  • Elimination of lubrication
  • Reduced wear on mating parts
  • Faster operation of equipment/line speeds
  • Less power needed to run equipment
  • Corrosion resistance and inertness
  • Weight reduction

With the many plastic materials available today, selecting the right one for your application may be intimidating. To help, we’ve created the following guidelines to assist those new to the world of engineering plastics.
