Techn. plastics

Today’s world is reacting faster and faster to new opportunities and every company, if you want to keep up with the competition, you must pick up this pace and recognize potential early enough in purchasing, product development and sales. In the last 50 years, plastic has caught up with, overtaken and now left steel or even other metals and non-metals far behind in terms of output (volume). Compared to the early days of plastic, there is at least one new variation of a plastic almost every day, in metal we would speak of alloy. Would you have thought that

• Plastics can exist with a continuous service temperature of up to 350° C?
• plastics can be magnetic, antistatic or electrically conductive?
• Plastics can be biodegradable after defined periods of time and be made from 100% renewable raw materials?
• Plastics can withstand even the strongest acids and alkalis?
• Plastics can easily be combined with other fibers and fillers and thus be technically transformed or made cheaper?
• Plastics are very durable and can withstand even the toughest conditions of abrasion and wear?
• Plastics can also be produced inexpensively in small quantities?

Companies in the steel processing industry in particular certainly have some catching up to do when it comes to researching the possibilities of substituting expensive steel components with less expensive plastic parts. Certainly steel / metal / non-ferrous metals cannot be replaced in many application areas, but if only 10% of your products could be replaced by the obvious advantages of plastics such as much lighter weight, inexpensive material, corrosion protection and easy variation of properties if necessary this would be of great advantage.
