PLASTIC MATERIALS
THE ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC MATERIALS
The main properties of plastic materials:
- Lightweight
- Good sliding properties
- High mechanical strength
- Abrasion resistance to wear
- Resistance to heat or cold
- Corrosion resistant
- Chemical resistance
- Vibration and noise absorption
- Compatibility with foodstuffs
The range is wide and the properties vary according to the level of technicality. Plastics have many advantages when replacing bronze, stainless steel, aluminium or ceramic.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLASTIC
We offer a wide range of plastic materials imported directly from our manufacturers.
The available formats are :
- Plaque
- Tube
- Ring Bar / Round Bar
Steps for choosing the right material
1- Determine the function of the part
- Support and wear application or structural (static or dynamic) application
2- Consider the thermal requirements of your application
- Under normal and extreme operating conditions
3- Consider chemical exposure
- During use and cleaning
4-Consider the aesthetics of the room
- Trim component
5-Select the correct format to produce the part
- Plate, Round Bar or Tube.
- Size and thickness.
6- Make sure you get the right material
- Ask for the material certificate of conformity at the time of the order. Our team will accompany you in this process.
