Large cost savings and reduced production times can be achieved by replacing different metals with reinforced plastics, for example, PPA, PPS or PA. In many cases rubber can also be replaced with different plastics including TPE, TPV or PVC. In addition to reduced production costs, significant weight savings can also be made.
Today, there are extremely good engineering plastics available, giving the possibility to replace metal items with plastic. This gives opportunities to improve cost-efficiency. We help you with your design, strength calculations and prototypes in order to do this.
Rubber is a fairly heavy and costly material. Replacing it with a plastic material such as TPE, TPV or PVC, can result in savings on both production costs and weight. Generally the wear resistance of plastic materials is at least as good as for rubber.
