When designing with metals like aluminum,
zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, you may face processing challenges and complexity.
These materials have been formulated using select metallic fillers and
engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
It is used to prevent metal
or unmelted pellets from entering the mold.

Others, such as glossy metallic
paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but
offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint
and coatings.

Metal Replacement
You’re considering nylon for metal replacement because it can create parts that are durable, strong, yet also lightweight.
Nylon is a great option for metal replacement.

Strong, lightweight alternative for metal and wood applications
They are stronger, lighter and more durable alternatives for many applications traditionally made with wood or metal.
Carbon fiber’s high tensile strength and low density enable light weighting and make it an excellent alternative to heavy metals, like steel.

Metallic Fillers Overview
Sometimes, however, a part needs properties only metal can offer, such as weight, high density, radiation shielding, or the ability to be identified by a metal detector.
Then add metallic filled material once you have set up your process.
