Engineering plastics
Compounds are upgraded by addition of glass fibres, minerals or other materials thermoplastic polymers, used due to their properties for manufacturing of engineering components.
These materials offer good mechanical properties, good chemical resistance, low abrasion and deterioration. Due to low density and easy processing they do substitute the traditional materials for example metal.
Wide range of application they found for processing components for automotive, electrical, electronics industry as well as in building industry and many other areas.
