Plastic Materials & Choices |
Plastic Sheet and Plastic Strip is used in a variety of different applications and conditions. Tepp Plastics provide wide choice of plastic sheet materials commonly used in engineering applications. As an industry leader in the production of coiled nylon strip and sheet, our products are used in Transport, Manufacturing, Aerospace and the Construction industries.
Choices
With plastics being used to replace other materials in the engineering markets, such as steel, aluminum and other metals, the choices are intimidating. The popular reasons for changing to plastics can be: Longer part life – lubrication elimination – reduced wear on parts – less power required for running equipment and corrosion resistance. So many materials to choose from – the customer must make the choice and satisfy themselves that the material they select will be up to the task. There are some small ways to help direct you to the right material for the job, and we hope this is useful. Contact us if you have any questions about coiled nylon strip or sheet!
Determine the component will be either:
- Bearing and Wear application (subject to friction) or…
- Structural (static or dynamic)
This will lead you to the group of materials best suited for the applications.
Wear properties are increased by Mos2, graphite, and carbon fiber and polymeric lubricants.
Structural properties are enhanced by Glass fiber and Carbon fiber
Nylon 66 is widely used when temperatures are an element and offers easy process
