Save Money, Reduce Components and Lighten Weight

Some businesses were built on metal.  We built ours replacing it

Manufacturers are under pressure to reduce cost, weight and energy consumption. The use of plastics in place of metals is helping manufacturers maintain margins as costs and competition increase.

With 50+ years of material, technical and application development experience, Ticona is uniquely positioned to help its customers prosper in today’s challenging environment through its global resources.

• 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
