Engineering plastics
Technical polymers and thermoplastics are designed to precisely fulfil specific technical requirements. Whether in the automotive industry, in aviation, electronics, medical technology or chemistry – engineering plastics are used in a number of areas that do not allow any compromises in terms of quality and reliability.
- Mechanical properties such as hardness or impact resistance to withstand high mechanical loads
- Heat resistance to withstand the requirements without loss of properties
- If necessary, the additional function of electrical insulation
- Durability due to high wear resistance, even in moving equipment
- Lighter weight than metals with equivalent stability
ABS
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer
In addition to its rigidity and toughness at even very low temperatures, ABS also has very good scratch resistance.
