Used in automotive, electrical, and consumer goods industries. • Polycarbonate (PC): High impact resistance, transparency, and heat resistance. Applications include automotive componen...

  Engineering plastics are a type of polymer materials that are designed to have specific mechanical, thermal, electrical, or chemical properties to meet the demands of various engineering applications. They are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, consumer goods, and more. Engineering plastics are characterized by their superior mechanical properties, such as high strength, toughness, and durability. They also exhibit excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties. These materials are often used as alternatives to traditional materials like metal, glass, and ceramics due to their lightweight, cost-effective, and versatile nature. Some common types of engineering plastics include: 1. Polycarbonate (PC) 2. Polyamide (PA, commonly known as nylon) 3. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) 4. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) 5. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, commonly known as Teflon) 6. Polyether Ether ...

Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have superior mechanical and thermal properties than commodity plastics such as polyethylene or polypropylene. They are often used in demanding applications where traditional plastics cannot perform adequately, such as in automotive, aerospace, medical, and electronics industries. Some common types of engineering plastics include: Acetal (Polyoxymethylene or POM) Polyamide (Nylon) Polycarbonate (PC) Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Polyphenylene oxide (PPO) Polysulfone (PSU) Polyetherimide (PEI) Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) Engineering plastics have a range of desirable properties, such as high strength, stiffness, and toughness; resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV radiation; and excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. They can also be easily processed using techniques such as injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming. Major players operating in the global engineering plastics market include Arkema Group, Asa...
