> Because the strength is designed within the part itself, structural plastic parts are more rigid and durable than parts made of other materials.
> Large parts can be produced as one strong, solid piece rather than as several pieces requiring assembly.
> Structural plastic won’t rust, rot, or corrode and is resistant to chips or dents.
> Structural plastic can be sawed, drilled, hammered and screwed like any other material.
> The nearly limitless design flexibility of structural plastic allows your parts to be custom crafted precisely to your specifications.
Structural plastic parts can be created via two different processes – structural foam and structural web.
> Structural foam is created in a manner similar to conventional injection molding except that a foaming agent is mixed into the polymer melt which expands to create a component of exceptional strength and rigidity.
> Structural web plastic utilizes gas-assist technology to produce large components that are stronger than conventional injection-molded parts yet possess smooth, uniform surface qualities with no sink marks.
