Semi-Crystalline Engineering Plastics

Engineering thermoplastics with moderate strength and stiffness and are used for bearing and wear applications or structural parts

General Characteristics of Semi-Crystalline Engineering Plastics

  • General purpose structural parts
  • Moderate strength
  • Moderate temperature
  • Good dimensional stability
  • Good izod impact
  • Easily fabricated

Semi-crystalline engineering plastics can be considered for applications with an approximate maximum temperature of 250°F. Selecting a plastic material for use in a high temperature environment requires careful review of material properties data.
