Plastic solutions for mechanical engineering that lastFaster, more efficient, more precise: These are the growing demands on mechanical engineering. The diverse properties of plastics offer immense innovation potential that will permit the industry to face these challenges.Plastics score particularly high in situations where conventional materials, like metals, often fail. Because plastics are especially light, they are many times more energy-efficient and quiet, for example with gears and guide rails. Overall, plastic constructions require less maintenance than metal constructions. They are less prone to corrosion, wear and tear from oxidation, and they remain dimensionally stable even with constant loads. Maintenance intervals are therefore much shorter.Abdeckung ABS / PC
Low maintenancePlastics are not prone to corrosion, they are abrasion-resistant and wear-resistant. That is why they require much less maintenance than conventional materials, such as metals.WeightPlastics are real lightweights. Machines with technical plastic solutions are therefore easier to handle and more energy efficient in everyday use.MalleabilityAn appealing design, innovative solutions – all this is possible thanks to the special malleability of plastics.
OxidationThe use of active ingredients prevents plastics from oxidizing. This slows down the aging process and makes plastic products durable.ModulesOur modern plant makes possible the production of complex modules. Our engineers have the know-how to provide support to help you design and select just the right materials.Fire protectionOur portfolio includes high-performance plastics that meet the UL94-V0 fire protection classification. Flames extinguish after 10 seconds, and the afterglow lasts at most 30 seconds.
