The new Edgetek materials solutions can be
wildly applied in a range of key industries including
5G base stations, medical devices, consumer
electronics and more.
The material solutions offer high
design flexibility, multi-function integration, size
miniaturization and weight reduction to meet
demanding manufacturing requirements without
compromising production efficiency and cost.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

HellermannTyton, a global leader in designing and
manufacturing fastening solutions for the automotive
industry, wanted to improve upon the bent steel plate it was
using to fabricate a complicated seat fastening device for a
leading automotive manufacturer.
The materials
also allow designers to integrate features into the part
without the need for fasteners or secondary operations.
Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower
than those of bent steel plate.
