Today the topic of metal replacement is very topical, i.e. the replacement of metal alloys with high-performance technopolymers.
In recent years, the technology of thermoplastic materials has achieved notable results in terms of mechanical performance, thus leading to an optimization of the lightness, strength, cost and durability of those products traditionally made with metal alloys.
For these reasons, the application of polymers compared to the use of metals offers some advantages such as:
- Weight reduction
- Excellent sliding properties
- Less vibration and noise dampening
- Electrical insulation or modulable conductivity
- Good chemical and corrosion resistance
- High freedom of design and planning
- Low production costs
- Permeability to electromagnetic waves
- Thermal insulation
- Possibility of application-specific formulations and modifications
