Heng Feng Pioneering in Plastic Processing

High Strength
If your application requires high mechanical strength, look for engineering plastics such as:

Polycarbonate (PC): Known for its toughness and impact resistance. Suitable for applications needing high strength and optical clarity.

Nylon (PA): Offers good tensile strength and wear resistance, ideal for gears, bearings, and other high-stress applications.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK): One of the strongest thermoplastics, used in high-performance applications like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

Moderate Strength
For standard strength requirements, consider:

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): A versatile material offering good strength and toughness, commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive, and toys.

Polypropylene (PP): A lightweight, strong plastic with good chemical resistance, ideal for packaging, automotive parts, and containers.

High Heat Resistance
If your application involves exposure to high temperatures, consider:

Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS): Known for its excellent heat resistance, often used in automotive and electrical applications where stability under high temperatures is critical.

PEEK: Excellent heat resistance and can perform at temperatures above 250°C, making it ideal for applications like aerospace and medical implants.

Moderate Heat Resistance
For applications with moderate temperature exposure:

Polycarbonate (PC): Can withstand temperatures up to 130°C and is often used in applications like lighting and electrical enclosures.

Polyamide (Nylon): Withstands heat up to 180°C, often used in automotive under-the-hood applications and electrical components.

General Heat Resistance
For less demanding heat conditions, you can consider:

Polypropylene (PP): Suitable for environments with temperatures ranging up to 120°C, ideal for packaging and household goods.

Low-Cost Options
If cost is a significant factor, consider:

Polystyrene (PS): One of the cheapest plastics, commonly used for packaging, disposable cutlery, and consumer products.

Polypropylene (PP): Low-cost, widely used in packaging, automotive, and containers.

Moderate-Cost Options:
For applications where moderate cost is acceptable, consider:

ABS: More affordable than high-performance plastics, with good mechanical properties and impact resistance, making it a popular choice for automotive and consumer products.

High-Cost Options:
If the application demands high performance regardless of cost, the following materials offer superior performance:

PEEK: While costly, PEEK offers exceptional mechanical properties and heat resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors.

Polyimide (PI): Offers superior heat and chemical resistance but comes at a premium cost. It is used in highly specialized applications such as electronics and high-temperature industries.
