Plastics offer a variety of advantages. As they are light and stable, they are suitable as a low-cost replacement for metal, which often needs no further treatment. As a consequence plastic parts are efficient as well as cost-saving in production compared to metal parts. As a bad heat conductor with a low electrical conductivity plastics are an excellent insulator. In addition, they are dimensionally stable, have low distortion and an excellent resistance to acids and chemicals.

Depending on the requirements, plastics are strengthened and gain stability with the help of various additives like glass or carton fibres. As a protection against effects of the weather we use materials with UV-stabilisers. Fire proofing equipment is also possible.



To improve the gliding property for example in the storage technology we work with tribologically modified materials.
