At Pexco, we specialize in replacing metal parts with engineered plastics that match or exceed metal in hardness, strength, rigidity, and durability. One of the strongest engineering plastics, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), closely mimics the mechanical properties of metal, offering high tensile strength, flexural strength, and rigidity—even at elevated temperatures. Similarly, carbon fiber-reinforced nylon provides exceptional strength and stiffness.

Optimized Plastic Solutions for Optical Sites

Many optical sites are traditionally made from aluminum. To replace aluminum without compromising performance, consider high-strength plastics such as:

• Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs): Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and durability.
• Fiberglass-Reinforced Polymers: A strong, lightweight alternative with a balance of strength and weight reduction.
• Glass-Filled Polycarbonate (GFOC): Enhanced stiffness and impact resistance for optical applications.
• High-Performance Resins (e.g., ABS): Versatile materials with the ability to match specific colors and finishes.

At Pexco, our engineering team provides expert material selection, design optimization, and specialized plastic molding services to ensure high-performance results. Whether replacing aluminum or other metals, we work closely with you to develop the right solutions for your application.
