Selection of casting materials
The selection of polymer raw materials is one of the most important stages in the design and production of plastic products. Today, the choice of polymer materials is quite wide and meets the most diverse requirements for the performance characteristics of products. The main task in the selection process is to ensure that the polymer fully corresponds to the purpose of a particular product.
«Variant-Plus» specialists are proficient in information about the properties of modern polymer materials available on the world market, including both traditional materials and Engineering Structural Plastics with special characteristics.
Operational requirements for the product include:
- Operating conditions: environmental aggressiveness, temperature, humidity, nature of action and magnitude of mechanical loads, shock, abrasive loads, abrasion resistance, etc.
- Product design requirements: color, texture, transparency.
- Operation features: contact with food, medical devices, children's products, etc.
There are also many important nuances that must be taken into account when selecting raw materials: structural features of the product, such as the presence of thin walls, the complexity of structural elements, partitions, the need for further processing of the product, etc.
Properly selected material is of particular importance for the accuracy of casting prefabricated products from several parts, which is extremely necessary for impeccable fitting in size during assembly.
After analyzing all the requirements for Product Characteristics, our specialists will determine the range of physical, mechanical, chemical and other properties of the material and offer options for types and specific brands of plastic that meet these requirements.
«Variant-Plus» technologists and raw materials specialists have extensive experience in casting a wide variety of raw materials, from traditional polyethylene and polypropylene to high — precision structural materials such as polyphenylene sulfide or polyetherefirketone.
When selecting the necessary raw materials for the customer, we also take into account the price characteristics of the material. In the context of new economic realities, the ability to reduce the cost of a product by selecting raw materials at optimal prices is our significant advantage.
