Material selection
During the first step in our process flow, we analyze your needs and help you choose materials for your product. With extensive expertise in engineering plastics, we design a tailor-made solution that meets all standards, lowers your costs and provides a long-term sustainable solution.
Plastics – lightweight, versatility and insulation
Construction plastics generally have a lower cost, weigh less and are easier to shape than metal. To achieve increased strength and rigidity, plastics can be reinforced with materials such as glass, carbon fiber, mica, metal, and ceramics. Plastics can also be fitted with different types of lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide, industrial wax or oil.
Construction plastics also work well in the electrical industry as an effective electrical insulator and have good thermal insulating properties. Plastics can be offered with dyeing options for aesthetics and design requirements.
Material selection in the industrial sector
Material selection is an important and sustainable part of both design and maintenance work in the modern process industry and other industries. Developments in the materiel area are important for all manufacturing industries. Today, materials technology is a key technology for meeting requirements for sustainability, cost-effectiveness and reliability.
Long-term sustainability and economy
It is of great importance to be able to overview both the technical and economic consequences of material choices in the long term to ensure optimal solutions. In environments with long-term operation under demanding conditions, deep knowledge and understanding of the properties of materials, including physical, chemical, thermal and mechanical stresses, is required.
Developments in the field of materials offer more and more alternative solutions, recently also with the emergence of recycled and fossil-free construction plastics. Material selection has taken on an increasingly significant role, which can significantly influence and improve processes and industrial processes.
