Engineering Plastics


Engineering plastics are a class of high-performance polymers specifically designed and engineered to exhibit superior mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties compared to standard or commodity plastics. These materials are characterized by their exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors, making them suitable for a wide range of demanding industrial applications.

Engineering plastic characteristics:   Engineering plastics, also called thermoplastic polymers, are a group of synthetic resins that offer high-performance capabilities and enhanced plastic characteristics compared to other standard plastic materials.


  • Advanced Material Properties:   Engineering plastics are formulated to possess exceptional properties such as high tensile strength, impact resistance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. These materials can maintain their structural integrity and function effectively under challenging conditions.

  • Temperature Resistance:   Engineering plastics can withstand a wide range of temperatures, both high and low, without deforming or losing their properties. This makes them suitable for applications where exposure to extreme temperatures is common.

  • Chemical Resistance:   Engineering plastics are often resistant to various chemicals, acids, and solvents, making them suitable for applications where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern.

  • Electrical Insulation:   Many engineering plastics have excellent electrical insulating properties, making them valuable in electrical and electronic applications where preventing electrical conductivity is essential.

  • Low Friction:   Some engineering plastics have low friction coefficients, making them ideal for applications where reduced friction and wear are critical.

  • Lightweight:   They are typically lighter than metals, which can contribute to weight reduction in various products, including automobiles and aircraft.

  • Design Flexibility:   Engineering plastics can be molded into complex shapes and can be tailored to specific performance requirements, allowing for versatile design possibilities.

  • Recyclability:   Some engineering plastics can be recycled, contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing environmental impact.


Applications: Engineering plastics have a wide range of applications across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical, construction, and consumer goods to name just a few. Some of the applications of engineering plastics are cams, gears, guides, connectors, relays,dashboard components, panels, electrical housings, flexible circuit boards, surgical instruments, fittings, casings, bicycle parts, appliance components, conveyor belt parts, drill components, and many other applications.
