Aerospace and Defense

• Weight Reduction: Lightweight materials are essential in aerospace to improve fuel efficiency and overall performance. Engineered plastics like PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) have replaced metal components in applications such as insulation, bearings, and seals—offering superior mechanical properties at a fraction of the weight.
• Corrosion Resistance: Aerospace components operate in extreme environmental conditions. Unlike metals, engineered plastics naturally resist corrosion, making them ideal for applications exposed to harsh atmospheric conditions.

Medical

• Durability & Biocompatibility: High-performance plastics such as polycarbonate and PEEK are widely used in medical implants, surgical instruments, and diagnostic devices. These materials offer excellent durability, resistance to chemical degradation, and biocompatibility, reducing the risk of adverse patient reactions.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to metals, plastics can often be manufactured more efficiently and at a lower cost, making them a key solution for affordable medical device production.

Optical

• • Greater Design Flexibility: The optical industry requires materials that can be molded into intricate shapes and complex geometries. High-performance plastics like PEEK, PTFE, and Ultem provide exceptional mechanical strength, impact resistance, and wear resistance—enhancing device longevity.
  • Weight & Maintenance Efficiency: Plastics offer a lightweight alternative to metals, reducing device weight and improving usability. Their corrosion and wear resistance further extend component lifespan, minimizing maintenance costs.
