We Know Polymers — No Matter the Application

When designing components for new projects, we focus on three areas essential to success:

• The material — In most cases where plastics are applicable, we use our PowerCore material due to its superior performance compared to other polymer- and metal-based components
• Our knowledge engineering database — Based on our decades’ worth of real-world performance data, we’ll optimize the component design to ensure high performance with most of the strength of metal but with the benefits of polymers
• Manufacturing — We’ll develop your components using the appropriate manufacturing process for the part, whether that’s machining, casting, injection-molding or additive manufacturing. Each method has its own strengths and drawbacks, and even the best designed parts can fail if made in the wrong way.

Metal and mold-injected plastic components may be attractive when first developing your plant’s machinery, but their quicker failure rate rapidly drive up costs through:

• Lost production time
• Cost per replacement part
• Cost per man-hour to replace defective parts
• Cost for central lubrication systems
• Cost for lubricants
• General wear and tear
• And More
