Advantages of Plastics

Easy to process and manufacture (easy to shape)

Even if the geometric shape of the product is quite complex, as long as it can be demoulded from the mold, it is relatively easy to make. Therefore, its efficiency is far better than metal processing, especially injection molding products. After a process, very complex finished products can be manufactured.

It can be colored as needed or made into transparent products

Plastic can be used to make colorful, transparent and beautiful products, which can also be colored at will, which can improve the commodity value and give people a lively feeling.

It can be made into light and high strength products

Compared with metal and ceramic products, they are light in weight, good in mechanical properties and high in specific strength (ratio of strength to density), so they can be made into lightweight and high-strength products. Especially after glass fiber is filled, its strength can be improved.

In addition, due to the light weight of plastic, which can save energy, its products are also increasingly lightweight.

No rust and corrosion

Plastics are generally resistant to the corrosion of various chemicals and will not rust or be corroded as easily as metals. It is unnecessary to worry about the corrosion of acid, alkali, salt, oil, medicine, moisture and mold when using.

It is not easy to conduct heat and has good thermal insulation performance

As the plastic has large specific heat and small thermal conductivity, it is not easy to transfer heat, so its heat preservation and insulation effect is good.

It can not only make conductive parts, but also make insulating products

Plastic itself is a good insulating material. At present, it can be said that no electrical product does not use plastic. However, if the plastic is filled with metal powder or chips for molding, it can also be made into products with good conductivity.

Excellent shock absorption, sound attenuation and light transmission

Plastics have excellent shock absorption and sound attenuation properties; Transparent plastics (such as PMMA, PS, PC, etc.) can be used to make transparent plastic products (such as lenses, signs, covers, etc.).

Low product manufacturing cost

Although the plastic raw material itself is not so cheap, because the plastic is easy to process and the equipment cost is relatively low, the product cost can be reduced.
