A Guide to High – Performance Plastics
From the experts at National Plastics & Seals
Metal-to-Plastic Conversion is High-Stakes
Download the Guide to High Performance Plastics because you know simple substitution isn’t enough when replacing metal. High-stakes applications in aerospace, automotive, and medical fields require certainty—not guesswork.
You need to know:
- Will my component fail under sustained heat?
- How much stiffness (tensile modulus) will it lose at its operating temperature?
- Am I over-specifying or risking premature failure with the wrong material?
The performance data in the guide is valuable, but translating it to your unique part is the challenge.
The Optimal Polymer
We’ll analyze your thermal, chemical, and mechanical requirements to select the best compound (e.g., PEEK, Ultem®, Ryton®) from our inventory.
Why It Matters: Guarantees reliability and prevents unexpected failure in critical environments.
Quantified Stiffness Retention
We use the same Modulus vs. Temperature data you saw in the guide to predict material behavior in your application.
Why It Matters: Confirms structural integrity and performance before fabrication begins.
