What does a frame that is designed to carry several thousand pounds of glass panels and a cabinet door for medical equipment have in common? Both are molded from structural plastics which replaced metal at a lower cost. Structural plastic parts are lighter, stronger and often less costly than metal. Structural Plastics offers tremendous design flexibility and allows complex shapes like hinges and or interlocking fingers to be molded into one part. Utilizing finite element analysis, simulating 2000 lb. load capabilities verified the integrity of the design. Product performance can be enhanced by material additives such as glass or carbon fiber. Structural plastics colors can be custom crafted to your exact specifications. Another key advantage, structural plastics do not rust, corrode or oxidize and may eliminate the need to paint.
