Heat Resistance UV Resistance So, what’s the best fit for your application? 

Are current metal parts plagued with performance problems, such as corrosion? Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. They are also up to 100 times more fatigue-resistant than polymers reinforced with short fibers, offering a high degree of mechanical resistance to high loads.
