Engineering plastics, also known as high-performance or specialty plastics, are designed for demanding applications requiring superior strength, durability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. General plastics, also called commodity plastics, are more readily available, cost-effective, and suitable for a wide range of applications where high performance is not a primary concern
Performance Characteristics:
Engineering plastics offer higher strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and impact resistance compared to general plastics. They are engineered to withstand harsh conditions and maintain their properties over time.
Engineering plastics are used in applications where reliability and durability are crucial, such as in automotive components, electrical/electronic parts, aerospace, and industrial equipment. General plastics are used in a broader range of applications, including packaging, consumer goods, and construction.
Cost:
Engineering plastics are generally more expensive than general plastics due to their higher performance characteristics and more complex manufacturing processes.
Processing:
Engineering plastics may require specialized manufacturing techniques and equipment to achieve their desired properties. General plastics are more readily processed using common methods.
Examples:
engineering plastic
It can handle both mechanical parts and engineering structures! High temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and excellent electrical performance.
Commonly used are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS), polyamide (nylon PA (N)), polycarbonate (PC), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyacetal, polyester resin, polysulfone (PSF), polymethyl methacrylate (organic glass PMMA), modified polyphenylene ether, and fluorine resin.
General Plastics: Polyethylene, PVC, Styrene.
