Engineered Polymer Services Lightweighting: Engineered polymer materials designed with a high strength-to-weight ratio, have similar structural integrity as traditional materials, but can be lighter in weight. Material changes occur when a sustainable polymer can provide a similar performance to petroleum-based polymers.
