SUMMARY:Applying Rubber & Plastic Solutions for Industry
DESCRIPTION:Applying Rubber & Plastic Solutions for Industry \nWith all the trade names and abbreviations it’s hard to tell the difference between Plastics and Compounds for your industrial applications. We will help make sense of the Industry Jargon and show you what products are compatible for your application. We will focus on weight reduction in substituting high grade polymer material instead of metal and the resulting benefits. \n\nPolyolefins (UHMW\, Polypropylene\, Polyethylene\, etc.) – Understanding their industrial benefits\nRubber – Examples of common manufacturing environment applications\nResults of high grade polymers
