MATERIAL SELECTION INDEPENDENT OVER THE WHOLE SPECTRUM

SYSTEMATIC MATERIAL SELECTION CONSIDERS MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND PRODUCT DESIGN

Component costs, design, manufacturing capabilities and service life of a component are largely influenced by material selection. In order to select the right material from the more than 10,000 types of plastics on offer, a sound knowledge of the materials available on the market is required.

Impetus Plastics has the necessary experience , the plastics technology know-how and good contacts to many raw material manufacturers. We carry out a complete material selection, advise you on material questions in the course of new product developments or support you in the clarification of damage cases. We provide you with independent and manufacturer-independent advice on all material issues and offer you a comprehensive range of services. This includes not only the selection of the right materials, but also the determination of all material parameters required for development.

MEASURING CHARACTERISTIC VALUES DIRECTLY AT IMPETUS

Characteristic values for plastics are required in numerous development and production steps in product development, for example, in material pre-selection, for process simulation or for checking a stress case.

You would like to have a component designed according to process technology or load, but the characteristic values for the simulation are missing?

Impetus has its own test specimen tools. We manufacture the required test specimens in our technical center and measure the required characteristic values.

Metallsubstitution

REPLACING METAL COMPONENTS WITH CLEVER INJECTION MOLDED PARTS

The performance spectrum and therefore the areas of application for plastics have expanded considerably in recent years. Areas in which one was previously certain that plastics could not be used are now supplied with plastic components as a matter of course. These include automotive components as well as parts for the sanitary, household appliances or medical industries and general mechanical engineering.

The potential for significantly reducing component costs and the part weight of zinc or aluminum die-cast housings, brass or steel components by using plastic solutions remains extremely high. It is not uncommon to achieve cost and weight savings of 40%, sometimes well beyond. Today, this also applies to highly stressed components.

But also the economical production through the injection molding process, the reduction of assembly steps through function integration and the reduction of necessary surface treatments contribute decisively to the success of metal substitution.
