There is an increasing trend for looking at replacing components made with metal with a plastic alternative. We have been at the forefront of several projects looking at this sort of solution to the increasing price in the metals market. With the recycling initiatives within the automotive industry, electrical industry there is a surge to develop a plastic component that has the same robust qualities as the metal parts. We have recently completed projects using specialist engineering polymers to replace brass parts and coppers parts. Both brass and copper has increased dramatically in price over recent years, but are also used due to their nature and properties. Replacing brass and copper parts requires and intelligently engineered solution to ensure the same performance and lifespan from a metal replacement component. Andel Plastics has project managed and redesigned metal components into a plastic alternative in different industries and gained enviable knowledge of the potential pit falls and engineered solutions to prevent them. If you have a project where you would like to replace a metal part with a plastic alternative please contact us.
