Metal Replacement Materials
One of the main advantages of using Plastic over Metal is the fact that Plastic does not corrode or rust and is lightweight. Within various applications, metals often need to be lubricated and can then cause problems with additional dust and grease build up. This in turn creates further maintenance requirements for the material. Thermoplastics on the other hand, do not require any lubrication of any kind and therefore increases part life resulting in less downtime.
Take a look at some applications where thermoplastics have been more beneficial than metal.
