Industry
Nowadays, plastics are replacing other materials such as steel or metal in many areas of machine or plant construction. Here, the materials score particularly well with their durability, high chemical resistance and impact strength, their low weight and cost-effective processing. Polyamide, for instance, is used in bearings, plain bearings and other mechanical components. Polyoxymethylene is another material used in gear wheels, bearings and precision components due to its high rigidity and low friction.

Consumer goods
A coffee machine without plastics? Unimaginable! This is because various types of plastics, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or polypropylene, have been established in household applications for years. These polymers are characterised by their long service life, resistance to chemicals and impressive surface quality.
