Metal replacement
Many metals, such as die-cast brass, zinc, and aluminum, can often be replaced with plastic, with excellent results. Plastic composites have properties that metals do not. One of the other advantages of using plastic is that components arrive from the production line in the desired color, and do not need to be coated. Other secondary operations such as deburring, threading, and drilling and boring can be skipped, which means cost savings. With metal replacement you save time, money, and work – without compromising on quality. Plastic can be used as metal replacement in many different industries, and metal replacement is a good option even in healthcare and sanitary applications, where the requirements on which materials can be used are very stringent.
