Why high performance polymers are replacing metals in demanding applications - The Manufacturer

Manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, electronics and energy industries are making the choice to specify metal alternatives to take advantage of the greater design freedom, significant weight reductions, and improved properties of performance polymers.

Unlike with metal components, by using high performance polymers, engineers can reduce processing cycle times and increase durability in demanding environments. Some of the key benefits of replacing metals with polymers include:

Weight reductions of up to 80%
30% faster installation times
Up to 5x higher mechanical properties
