In the context of increasingly diverse consumer needs, the selection of quality input materials is a prerequisite for product success. Among engineering plastic materials, engineering plastic compounds is an optimal material solution for businesses thanks to its outstanding advantages. Today we’ll discover 5 great benefits that compound plastic brings to businesses!
If traditional plastic materials (PP, PE, PET, PVC, ABS, ...) or filler masterbatch, plastic additives have become extremely familiar to businesses, engineering plastic compounds are still a relatively new name on the market.
However, in recent years, the explosive development of the end-market, concentrated in high-tech industries such as electrical & electronic, construction, mechanical and automation, and consumables,... has pushed plastic businesses to look for a new material solution - to fully meet the most stringent technical requirements of the end product.
That's when businesses need engineering plastic compounds.
Engineering plastic compound is a combination of traditional plastic bases (PP, ABS, PC,...) with appropriate reinforcements and additives. The most common reinforcing agents are fiberglass, glass beads, conductive carbon, flame retardants, talcum powder, and BaSO4 salts. Which component to choose depends on the characteristics of the finished product (features, intended use, technical requirements,...). Therefore, engineering plastic compounds have high compatibility with finished products, and at the same time can fully meet all requirements of customers.
Imagine you are given a choice between two outfits that are visually similar, but one ready-made and the other tailored to your measurements and preferences, what's your choice? The answer is obvious. In any industry, tailor-made products are always appreciated for their absolute suitability for users. Engineering plastic compounds are also such a product.
The thorough product research process has helped engineering plastic compounds bring all the necessary features in a single material. Instead of having to mix dozens of input materials such as base resins, pigments, fillers, and additives, businesses only need to use a single material - plastic compounds. That's because engineering plastic compound is already the most complete and perfect combination of the base resin, reinforcement, additives, and pigments (if needed). It's great when only one material fully converges features such as flexibility, lightness, durability, fuel economy, insulation, and aesthetics,...
The use of many materials at the same time has the risk of causing problems such as uneven dispersion, and incompatible materials causing difficulties in the machining process. However, with plastic compounds, that is no longer a concern. With only one material being processed, plastic compounds ensure that they fully meet the technical and functional requirements for the finished product.
No longer has to spend time mixing materials before putting them into production, the engineering plastic compound allows for direct processing (ready-to-use) because it has all the necessary features for the finished product. Thereby helping businesses simplify production processes, save time and improve productivity.
The use of a single input material helps businesses save significantly on costs compared to using multiple materials. In fact, many businesses hesitate to use compounds for reasons of cost. However, it should be emphasized that the costs incurred when using traditional plastic materials include not only basic costs (price of input materials, transportation costs, warehousing, taxes) but also opportunity costs when goods are delayed or of poor quality, affecting production plans and business reputation.
With good rigidity, impact resistance, and high insulation, engineering plastic compounds are commonly used in many applications such as automotive interiors (seat belts, floor mats, upholstery), wheels and tires, car doors, fuel tank covers,...
Compounds are also used in many applications such as insulation, sculpture, ... and additives such as bonding agents, and adhesives, ...
Another common application of compound engineering plastics is in the electrical & electronic industry. This material is an important raw material in the production of refrigerators, freezers, parts of electronic equipment, wires, cables, and circuit boards, ...
Engineering plastic compounds are commonly used in many applications such as manufacturing parts in shoes (PVC compound), mattresses, wooden furniture, floor mats, sanitary ware, and details in rice cookers, kettles,... Compounds are preferred due to their ability to retain the outstanding properties of appliances, thereby making them suitable for use.
Besides, the compound is also applied in many other fields such as industrial machinery, medical equipment, and optical media,...
