Ultra Strong Plastic
Ultra Strong Plastic
(OP)
Hi,
Can someone recommend a type of plastic that could be used to replace a steel component that's 0.5mm thick?
It has to be:
1. As strong as steel
2. Able to resit warping between 10-80 degrees C
3. Currently available commercially
4. Relatively cheap
5. Able to be formed into an exact shape
Many thanks

RE: Ultra Strong Plastic
- near constant thickness design;
- gussets on one or more sides;
- undercuts.
What may appear simple can become a nightmare. Get expert consultation from plastic manufacturers and molders.
RE: Ultra Strong Plastic
Since posting I have been told that PEI / POM might fit the bill but mouding will be prohibitively expensive - therefore the item would have to be cut from sheet.
