Valve cover systems
The best material for every situation Many factors must be carefully considered when selecting the right material for plastics systems. Various compositions from basis polymers and additives influence material behavior, processability, suitability for innovative connection and joining processes, and efficiency in specific applications.
 
Thermoplast or Duroplast?
The answer to this question will be apparent only after our application and material engineers have analyzed the individual material-based requirements of the customer’s application.


 
Factors Among other things, they consider the following:
  • Mechanical properties (strength, elongation at tear)
  • Temperature resistance (short-term and long-term)
  • Dimensional stability
  • Resistance to liquids
  • Set and flow properties
  • Damping behavior
  • Electrical properties
  • Possible use of connection and joining techniques
  • Finishing techniques (screws, clasps, adhesives, painting, welding)
  • Raw materials price
  • Tool costs
  • Cycle time
  • Recyclability
  • Weight
