  • Zero corrosion
  • Weight reduction
  • Improved wear-performance/friction coefficient
  • Noise dampening
  • Electrical and thermal insulation
  • Internal lubrication
  • Non-stick characteristics
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Dimensional stability
  • Chemical resistance
  • Ease of machining
  • Aesthetics
  • Self Lubricating
  • Self Memory

The above characteristics make engineering plastics the logical and cost-effective choice for a range of applications including heavy-wear components, food processing components and semi conductor processing equipment.
