High-performance engineering plastics such as PEEK, POM-C and PA6C now match or exceed the mechanical performance required in many applications previously reserved for metal, while offering advantages metal cannot provide: significantly lower weight, no corrosion, self-lubricating and low-friction operation, and electrical or thermal insulation where required.
Metal-to-plastic replacement is most effective where corrosion, weight, chemical exposure, noise, electrical conductivity or lubrication requirements limit the performance or service life of a metal component. Reinforced grades such as PEEK CF30 and PEEK GF30 provide the stiffness and dimensional stability needed for structural and load-bearing applications, closing the performance gap with metal in demanding environments.
Plastix Factory supports this conversion process with material selection guidance, standard and reinforced stock, and CNC machining to your existing metal part drawings, delivered through the same digital platform used for the full material range.
Plastics typically weigh a fraction of comparable metal components, reducing load and inertia in moving assemblies.
No rust or galvanic corrosion, removing a major cause of metal part failure in humid or chemical environments.
Grades such as PEEK HPV and POM-C reduce or eliminate the need for external lubrication.
Non-conductive grades isolate components where metal would create electrical or thermal paths.
Lower stiffness and damping characteristics reduce operating noise compared to metal parts.
Reduced maintenance, longer service life in corrosive or dry-running conditions, and lower part weight can reduce total lifecycle cost despite differing unit material cost.
