Choosing the right engineering plastic can make or break a product’s performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability.

Sustainability is no longer a niche topic — it is now a defining factor in how industries choose materials and suppliers.

Modern engineers and product designers constantly face the challenge of balancing strength, flexibility, and environmental resistance in high-performance components.

Selecting the right material is one of the most important decisions in automotive design. Every vehicle component—from under-the-hood parts to exterior trims—must balance strength, weight, and durability under challenging conditions.

Many production challenges with PA 6 parts — such as brittleness, sink marks, or surface defects — can be traced back to improper material handling.

You will see important differences between polyamide, nylon, and polyester. Each material has its own special strengths for your projects. Polyamide and nylon are stretchy and do not wear out easily. Polyester is good at handling sunlight, water, and heat.
