Engineered plastics

Engineered plastics are high-performance polymers designed to exceed the capabilities of standard commodity plastics. These advanced materials offer exceptional mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, making them ideal for demanding industrial and commercial applications.

It can be used in Cryogenic temperatures of -196˚C to high temperatures of up to 280˚C; therefore, it is very adaptable. It offers superior strength, durability, chemical resistance, and also weight performance. Compared to metal, these gaskets are lighter, reducing overall system weight and making them easier to handle and install. Furthermore, it is highly resistant to wear and tear, corrosion, and chemicals. Thus, an ideal material for harsh environments. Additionally, it is easy to machine, mould, and shape, making it an adaptable material for various applications. It reduces energy consumption and increases machinery efficiency through its low friction and high stiffness.

It is machined at our Manchester site within our CNC machining department. We provide product solutions to diverse industries, including automotive manufacturing, precision engineering, industrial production, and food and beverage processing. The automotive industry uses it as a lighter alternative to metals, contributing to fuel efficiency while maintaining structural integrity. These materials exhibit superior mechanical and thermal properties compared to commodity plastics. They also offer numerous benefits, including good mechanical characteristics, strength, durability, ease of processing, and effective chemical resistance, making it a versatile product for multiple applications.
