Thermoplastics are lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for agricultural equipment. They offer low friction, reduced wear and long service life, helping to improve efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements
Engineering plastics provide excellent wear resistance, lower friction and improved corrosion resistance compared to metal. They also reduce weight and help minimise downtime due to their durability and self-lubricating properties.
Many engineering plastics have self-lubricating properties, reducing or eliminating the need for external lubrication. This helps prevent dust and grease build-up and reduces maintenance costs.
Yes, thermoplastics are resistant to environmental decay and do not rot, swell, splinter or degrade like some traditional materials. They also resist corrosion and perform well in demanding outdoor conditions.
Engineering plastics are commonly used for skid plates, augers, auger trough liners, auger bed liners and retractable fingers, helping to reduce wear and improve equipment performance.
Thermoplastics are used for components such as ripper shins and shank guards, providing improved wear resistance and longer service life in abrasive soil conditions.
Plastic mold board covers reduce friction against steel surfaces, helping prevent mud build-up and improving equipment efficiency during operation.
Engineering plastics are used in depth control wheels and scrapers, helping equipment operate smoothly while reducing friction and wear.
Yes, engineering plastics are used in applications such as poultry processing equipment where hygienic, durable and wear-resistant materials are required.
Thermoplastics are used across industries including mining, agriculture, transportation, food processing, construction and medical environments due to their durability, corrosion resistance and versatility.
Thermoplastics are lighter than metal, corrosion resistant, low friction, self-lubricating and require less maintenance. They also offer long service life and are cost-effective to produce and machine.
Yes, thermoplastics perform well in environments exposed to chemicals, moisture, UV radiation and wear. They do not rot, swell or corrode, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Yes, engineering plastics can be CNC machined, routed, milled, cut, welded and bonded to create custom components designed for specific industrial applications.
Machined plastic parts are used in industries such as mining, transportation, agriculture, water treatment, food processing and lifting equipment.
Plastic components offer excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation, wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, while also being lightweight and cost effective.
Thermoplastics offer excellent chemical resistance, dimensional stability and hygienic properties, making them suitable for food processing environments where frequent cleaning is required.
Yes, thermoplastics reduce friction and wear, improve component life and support faster line speeds, helping increase productivity and reduce downtime.
Common components include sprockets, chain guides, star wheels, wear strips, feed screws, bearings, rollers and cutting boards.
Thermoplastics are resistant to saltwater, UV exposure, corrosion and chemicals, making them ideal for boats, yachts and harbour equipment.
Applications include portholes, bearings, stern rollers, boat trailer rollers, navigation buoys, decking, seating, cabinet panels and dock fenders.
Thermoplastics are low maintenance as they do not corrode, rot or delaminate and often do not require lubrication.
Nylon sheaves offer high wear resistance, reduced friction and improved wire rope life compared to steel alternatives.
Yes, thermoplastic sheaves are self-lubricating and corrosion resistant, reducing the need for lubrication and lowering maintenance requirements.
Engineering plastic sheaves provide excellent strength, impact resistance and dimensional stability, making them suitable for cranes, hoists and lifting equipment.
UHMWPE linings such as MATROX® reduce friction and prevent material build-up in bins, hoppers and silos, improving flow efficiency and reducing downtime.
Yes, thermoplastic linings offer excellent abrasion resistance and longer service life compared to traditional steel surfaces.
Applications include silos, hoppers, transfer chutes, truck beds, ship holds and conveyor systems.
Thermoplastics are used for wear strips, slide shoes, cable sheaves, guide profiles and protective linings in timber processing environments.
They provide low friction, wear resistance and durability while resisting moisture and environmental degradation.
Poly-CAB covers protect machinery cabins from vandalism, theft and environmental damage while reducing maintenance costs.
Plastic machine guards are impact resistant, corrosion free and lightweight, improving safety while being easier to install and maintain than metal guards.
Antimicrobial PVC wall cladding is used in hospitals, laboratories and food processing facilities to prevent bacteria, mould and microbes from growing on surfaces.
No, the surface is easy to clean using standard cleaning agents and does not require specialised maintenance.
