General Engineering Plastics (POM / PA / PE)

  • General Engineering Plastics
    (POM / PA / PE)

    M Seals holds an extensive range of semi-finished general engineering plastic materials in stock to enable rapid turnaround of finished products to our customers.

    General engineering plastics such as Polyacetal (POM), Polyamide (PA, Nylon) and others can offer many advantages over metallic materials when chosen correctly:

    • Reduction in weight
    • Reduced cost
    • Excellent wear properties
    • Thermal insulation

     

    Choosing the correct general engineering plastic

    When choosing the best general engineering plastic for your application, we must consider your application conditions, such as temperature, load, speed and chemical compatibility. 

    Refer to our material data sheets or contact us for more information.
