Modified Plastics
Tailored Materials for Specialized Engineering Challenges
Not every engineering application can be solved with a standard thermoplastic. Some projects require enhanced strength, reduced friction, greater electrical conductivity, improved wear resistance, or lighter components. That’s where Modified Plastics make the difference.
Modified plastics are created by enhancing base polymers with carefully selected additives, reinforcing fibres, stabilizers, and performance-enhancing fillers. These modifications allow engineers to customize material properties for specific operating environments, resulting in components that deliver superior performance, longer service life, and greater design flexibility.
Designed Around Performance Requirements
Every modification is introduced with a specific purpose – to improve the material where it matters most.
Available Material Enhancements
- Glass fibre reinforcement for increased strength and rigidity
- Carbon fibre reinforcement for lightweight, high-strength components
- PTFE and graphite additives for improved wear and low-friction performance
- Ceramic-filled compounds for enhanced hardness and machinability
- Stabilizers for improved thermal and environmental resistance
- Electrically conductive grades for specialized industrial applications
- Wear-resistant formulations for moving mechanical parts
- Improved dimensional stability under demanding conditions
- Customized compounds developed for application-specific requirements
- Optimized performance without compromising machinability
