5 types of plastic engineering compounds for technical components

Based on the characteristics of the end product, the manufacturer can choose from different lines of engineering plastics.

Compound POM
POM engineering plastic is also known by the common name acetal. The material is made from POM primary plastic, mixed with many different additives and reinforcements, or blended with other plastic bases according to suitable formulas to meet the specific characteristics of each finished product. .

Compound POM is commonly used in the production of mechanical parts such as bearings, nuts, plastic joints, etc. These are important details of water pumps, drills, fans, air compressors, machines. industrial processing, automobile assembly, ... helps maintain the movement of machines and engines through reducing friction when in motion.

POM compound
The application of POM compound in the manufacture of mechanical parts creates finished products with high hardness, good wear resistance and bearing capacity, stable dimensions, little deformation during machining, and temperature resistance. high quality, beautiful glossy surface, etc. Thereby improving the efficiency and durability of the finished product.

Compound PA6/PA66
PA6/PA66 compound is a mixture of PA6/PA66 primary plastic base with appropriate reinforcements and additives. The material is commonly used in the production of gears, roller bearings (bearings), gears in office equipment, gear assemblies, carburetors, exhaust gas control valves, tank caps gasoline, ... in the automobile and motorcycle industry.

PA6/PA66 compound is commonly used in technical gears

With outstanding advantages such as high hardness, dimensional stability and less deformation during machining, abrasion resistance, PA6/PA66 engineering plastics create sharp finished products with precision. high mechanical strength, at the same time achieve better use efficiency, more durable.

Compound PC
The advantages of PC plastic base are high mechanical strength, good bearing capacity, abrasion resistance and high transparency. Therefore, when combined with other components such as reinforcements and additives, compound PC becomes the ideal choice for high-precision parts such as electric meters, camera parts, components. electronics, etc. The material helps to limit shrinkage and deformation during the machining process, thereby creating a finished product with high sharpness. At the same time, PC compound does not maintain fire, thereby ensuring safety during use for consumers.

Compound PBT
PBT compound is an engineering plastic based on PBT primary plastic, mixed with appropriate reinforcement additives to meet the specific technical requirements of the finished product. With fire resistance and high rigidity, compound PBT is widely used in the manufacture of parts for cars, motorcycles, turbines, radiator fans, and household electrical appliances.

Compound PBT is widely used in the production of car parts
Compound PP
PP compound is one of the compounds that are consumed in the largest volume. According to Grand View Research, PP compound consumption volume is about 658.1 kilotons in 2018 and is expected to reach 1,112.6 kilotons in 2026. The auto industry is the biggest consumer of PP engineering plastics thanks to Good impact resistance and flexibility of this material. Some common applications of compound PP are automobile and motorcycle components, fuel tank caps, household electrical and electronic components, etc.
