Engineering Plastics
Engineering plastics are synthetic materials of a polymeric nature, composed of organic molecules that offer higher performance than standard materials. They are therefore optimal for technical applications that require high-performance plastics with properties such as dimensional stability, durability, resistance to impact and extreme temperatures, and tolerance to corrosion and chemicals.
Type of Engineering Plastics
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a hard, amorphous thermoplastic composed of three monomers: acrylonitrile, styrene and polybutadiene. The synergy of these monomers gives ABS a very diverse combination of properties, including resistance and stability to vibration or impact, even at low temperatures.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
Thermoplastic polyurethane is a highly versatile elastomer with excellent conformability resulting from its chemical composition of hard and soft segments that give it rigidity and elastomeric properties respectively. TPU offers high resistance to oxygen, abrasion and low temperatures .
