Energy and environment
The excellent characteristics of engineering plastic make it especially suitable for use in applications within energy generation based on solar, wind, hydro, biogas, and in waste management/recycling and purification plants.
Together with our suppliers, we have been a solution supplier for the energy production industry for many years. Our experience is based on application success in traditional energy sectors such as oil and gas, but more and more in new alternative energy fields such as wind and solar.
Our wide range of materials offers key solutions for your specific industry, already proven or tailored. Our materials are extensively tested and can work under harsh chemical as well as extreme thermal conditions. Our high-performance materials offer the benefits of all plastics, which helps reduce weight and enables the replacement of other materials such as steel, aluminum, or ceramics due to their high specific strength.
The benefits of engineering plastic in Energy and Environmental Engineering
- Extended mean time between repair (MTBR) by using maintenance-free, self-lubricating materials
- Automation possibilities offered by highly dimensionally stable products
- Longer product life based on improved chemical resistance of components
- Material savings possible through low-wear engineering plastics
- Noise reduction offered by friction-optimized products
- Safety in use through the best cost-effective solution from a wide range of products
Plastics for renewable energy from solar and wind power
Solar and wind farms are being established with great speed, on the ground and at sea, and are contributing to meeting the increased demand for electricity. Our supplier works with major equipment manufacturers to improve overall efficiency and reliability, and to significantly reduce maintenance needs.
