Plastics
Our high-performance plastics feature unique properties that help manufacturers save costs while increasing safety. These plastics can handle extreme temperatures and save weight on critical parts. Engineers often look to an engineered plastic solution to improve quality, performance, and reduce fuel consumption. Certain engineered plastics and high-performance plastics, such as polyimides and PAIs, often outperform more traditional metals and typically weigh far less, helping to reduce the consumption of fuel. The team at thyssenkrupp Engineered Plastics can assist with finding just the right materials for your specific application.
