PLASTIC MATERIALS
THE ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC MATERIALS
The main properties of plastic materials:
- Lightweight
- Good sliding properties
- High mechanical resistance
- Resistance to deterioration and abrasion
- Resistance to high or low temperature
- Resistance to corrosion
- Chemical resistance
- Absorption of vibration and noise
- Compatibility with foodstuffs FDA ;(1935/2004/CE, 2002/72/CE)
The range is wide and the properties vary according to the level of technicality. Plastics have many advantages over ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLASTIC
We offer a wide range of plastic materials imported directly from our manufacturers.
The available formats are :
- Plate
- Tube
- Rod / Round Bar
Steps to choose the right material
1- Determine the function of the part
- Support and wear application or structural application (static or dynamic)
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 part
- Part appearance
5-Select the right size 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 assist you in this process.
