What are engineering plastics?

Engineering plastics are high-performance materials designed to offer superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties compared to standard commodity plastics. These durable thermoplastics, like ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, PEEK, and PTFE, are ideal for precision CNC machining applications where strength, wear resistance, and stability are essential.

Why choose engineering plastics for your project?

  • Precision machining capabilities: Many engineering plastics can be machined to tight tolerances, making them ideal for detailed components and functional prototypes where accuracy is critical.
  • High strength-to-weight ratio: Engineering plastics deliver impressive mechanical strength while remaining lightweight, helping reduce component weight without sacrificing performance.
  • Resistance to chemicals and heat: Materials like PEEK and PTFE maintain stability under high temperatures and exposure to chemicals, making them suitable for challenging industrial and technical applications.
