For stiffness or strength requirements, consider leveraging long fiber thermoplastics technologies.
Injection-molded polymers can streamline assembly steps and eliminate secondary finishing processes, such as protective coatings and paint, enhancing production efficiency.
This is 50 to 100 times greater than standard thermoplastics and 1/5 that of cast aluminum.

Since color or performance is embedded in the polymer, dents and scratches will not strip them away as they would for painted and coated parts.
In addition to color matching across different polymers, we can also match in plastic the color of other materials used in the appliance (e.g., painted parts) or in other products to achieve a homogeneous look across all product line items.
Others, such as glossy metallic paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint and coatings.
