Lower Overall Costs

Engineering polymers allow the design and application of one piece configurations with internal features and efficiency that would be difficult or impossible to produce in metal. They can be produced at a lower cost and in very high volumes, which usually require no finishing process.

• Parts consolidation – Make one piece configurations with internal features that would be difficult or impossible to produce in metal
• Weight reduction – Specific gravity 1 to 2 vs. 7.85 for steel
• Cost reduction – Depending on manufacturing technique, savings can be 10% to 50%
• Functional appearance part – No trim pieces needed
• Durability – Chemical/corrosion resistance of polymers can be superior to that of metal
• Recyclable

Outstanding aesthetics with lower overall costs

Ticona’s appearance polymers allow companies to navigate betweenappealing designs that will attract customers and lower costs that willmaximize profit margins. Eliminating paint and the probability of scratchingand peeling make these polymers a designer’s dream. Environmentally concerned usersalso find the ability to eliminate painting both responsible and costeffective.

• Reduce costs by eliminating secondary operations associated with painting or plating
• Eliminate VOCs associated with the painting process
• Eliminate costly disposal fees of chemicals, solvents, etc.
