Replacing metals with plastic has finally become a viable and cost-effective option for many businesses. These types of engineered plastics are hence vital for the automotive mileage quest as they can achieve the strengths of metals without the weight. Moreover, the size and volumes involved means that handling lighter materials makes it easier for the industry. A lighter material also means cheaper transportation costs.
2. Engineered thermoplastics have made great inroads in offering
businesses with many of the strengths that metals possess, without any of
the drawbacks that metals can be famous.
3. Misconceptions About Plastic
There are several flame-retardant properties that can be introduced to
composite materials to help raise their melt temp and allow them to meet
stringent flame-smoke-toxicity requirements.
4. Engineered thermoplastics have 1/7th the weight of most non-ferrous
metals. This means that they act as a boon for industries such as the
automobile sector where weight is an incredibly crucial aspect.
Reducing weight is critically important for the automotive industry as they
strive for ever better mileage with increasingly strict MPG targets put forth by
regulators.
5. Plastics help bring about lower production costs and lower actual material
costs. It is also often cheaper to produce injection moulded plastic parts
when compared to their metal equivalents.
Plastics help bring about lower production costs and lower actual material
costs. It is also often cheaper to produce injection molded plastic parts when
compared to their metal equivalents.
6. Light-weight plastics are particularly needed by the automotive sector
where these high-gravity compounds have become indispensable thanks
to their various characteristics.
Composite materials can achieve the same density that is required by your
application while using plastic so as to offer direct cost savings in the
manufacturing process by allowing you to switch from metallurgy to injection
moulding.
7. How Can Ecomass Compounds Help?
Our composite materials offer a number of distinct advantages when
compared to their metal equivalents in the form of low overall costs,
reduced vibration, low maintenance, simplified designs, less weight, better
resistance to chemicals and simplified designs.
8. engineered thermoplastics can be customized to perfectly match your
application requirements and offer you the most cost-effective materials. For
applications which require electrical, physical or mechanical properties that
go beyond off-the-shelf products
9. Ecomass Compounds also offers custom materials that can be tailor-made
to meet your exact requirements.
Most cases, one can easily switch to composite materials and high-
gravity compounds. It ultimately depends on the end-use of the
application.
