Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation. select appropriate materials

While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C. As in conventional molding, these materials have specific requirements for success in manufacturing. These materials can enable OEMs and molders to meet tougher requirements and create next-gen products.
