Metal-to-Plastic Conversion Services
Designing plastic replacements for metal components is often possible while preserving — or improving — your product's performance and longevity.
Because plastic is easier to mold into complex and precise shapes, one plastic part can even replace several metal pieces.
The Benefits of Plastics Include:
- Greater design freedom, especially for complex parts
- Specifications tailored to unique applications
- Ability to withstand temperatures higher than 500°F
- Resistance to chemicals and corrosive environments
- Consolidated parts
- Fewer assembly operations
- Reduced secondary finishing
- Reduced weight
- Reduced total system costs
Other Major Advantages:
Parts made of molded, colored plastic can eliminate the need for paint.
Plastic doesn't conduct electricity.
Resins make great thermal insulators.
Polymers offer noise reduction and sound-dampening capabilities.
Our technical experts, cutting-edge lab facilities, and decades of experience help us analyze your application assembly and find opportunities for metal-to-plastic conversion.
With the wide variety of resins available to us — and custom compounding capabilities — we're the ideal partner in your journey to more efficient, cost-effective products.
