Engineering Plastics
Engineering plastics are polymers designed for load-bearing parts that go beyond the strength, temperature and dimensional-stability limits of commodity plastics. In this group Forbest Plastik supplies PA6, PA66, long-chain polyamides, PBT, POM, polyketone, PPA, PPE and engineering-grade PET. Choosing the right family means looking at the operating temperature, humidity, wear load and required surface quality of the part; our technical team listens to your application, proposes candidate materials and reinforcement levels, and sends the supplier technical data sheet (TDS) with the quotation.
